Question

Points A, B and C make the triangle triangle ABC and are at the coordinates A(- 4, 3) , B(- 48, 17) and C(22, - 53) . Point D is the midpoint of BC and AD is a median of triangle ABC . What is the equation of the median in standard form?
PLEASE HELP ASAP

Answer 1

The equation of the median in standard form is; 9y - 38x = 179.

What is the equation of the media in standard form?

It follows from the task content that the point D is the midpoint of segment BC; Hence, the coordinates of point D given the coordinates of B and C above are given as; D(-13, -35).

The equation of the median which is the line joining points A and D is therefore determined as follows;

Slope = (-35-3)/(-13-(-4)) = 38/9

38/9 = (y-3)/(x+4)

9y -27 = 38x + 152

9y - 38x = 179.
