If your answer is correct, you made a typo in the 1st point of the problem.
If two of the vertices are
(3,-2) and (-3,-2) then the base is clearly a horizontal line.
So, any point 3 units above the base will produce the desired height. That would be (x,1).
(0,1) is the point that makes the triangle isosceles, since it's midway between the two base vertices.
Getting the right answer is a lot easier if the right questions is asked. If the question was posed as you entered it, it was a very poor example.
and vertex is the singular of vertices!
How do I find the answer to the following question without knowing the 3rd vertices?
Graph a triangle with vertices (3,-2), (-3,2) and height of 3 units.
The answer is supposed to be (3, -2), (0,1) and (-3, -2).

Yes, that was how the question was asked. Not sure how I'm supposed to take your response about using wrong spelling.
