ALTITUDE
the altitude is the height of the traignel

if we graph the points, we get some lopsided triangle
so we know the altitude is peerpendicular to the base
so find the line that is perpendicular to the line tha passes through A and C

so first fid the line that passes through (-4,-2) and (18,-8)
slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
slope=(-8-(-2))/(18-(-4))=(-8+2)/(18+4)=-6/22
perpendicular lines have slopes the multipy to -1
-6/22 times what=-1
times both sides by -22/6
wat=22/6
that is the slope of the line that is the altitude

we have to use point slope form
the equation of a line that passes through (x1,y1) and has sloe of m is
y-y1=m(x-x1)
so passes through B (4,4) and has slope of 22/6
y-4=22/6(x-4)
y-4=22/6x-44/3
y=(22/6)x-32/3
that is the altitude






MEDIAN
the media is the line joining the midpoint of one side to the vertex of the other
so we need to find the line that passes through the midpoint of AB and through the point C
midpoint of (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is
((x1+x2)/2,(y1+y2)/2)
so
midopint of (-4,-2) and (4,4) is
((-4+4)/2,(-2+4)/2)=(0/2,2/2)=(0,1)

so we just find the line that passes through (0,1) and (18,-8)
slope iis (-8-1)/(18-0)=-9/18=-1/2
a point is (0,1) and sloe si -1/2
y-1=-1/2(x-0)
y-1=1/2x
y=(1/2)x+1








ALTITUDE
y=(-6/22)x

MEDIAN:
y=(1/2)x+1

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Domain : { -3, 0, 3}

Range : { 1 , 1 , 1 }

Function : These set of ordered pairs are functions as every x-value has only one y-value associated with it.

[*Please Help me with this Question, Thank you &amp; Please!*]
Aliun [14]

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both triangles are similiar, this means they can have different sized sides, but they are just scaled versions of each other. This also means that no matter what sides they have, their angles are going to be the exact same

Knowing this, it helps to draw them out side by side so you can match them up easier. Both of them have a 90 degree angle, and more specifically they are 45-45-90 triangles (45-45-90 is a special right triangle). You can point this out since they give us a 90 degree angle and two angles that are congruent in the same triangle. In order for that to work, they HAVE to be 45-45-90

With this, we can find out what x equals. Since the two angles markings line up with the two side angles in the other triangle, we know that they are equal to each other.

we can use the equation 15x = 45, since 45 is what the side angle should equal.

now, we just divide 45 by 15, and we should get 3

so x = 3!

I hope this helps :)
