Triangle ABC has vertices of A(–6, 7), B(4, –1), and C(–2, –9). Find the length of the median from A) 4 b) square Root of 18
C) 8
D) Square root of 68
1 answer:
We know that
the median<span> is the segment that joins each vertex with the midpoint of the opposite side</span>
using a graph tool
see the attached figure
Step 1
Find the midpoint segment BC
<span>B(4, –1), and C(–2, –9)
</span>
Xm=(4-2)/2=1
Ym=(-1-9)/2=-5
the midpoint BC is (1,-5)
the length of median is the distance point A(-6,7) and midpoint BC (1,-5)
d=√(12²+7²)=√193=13.89 units
the answer is 13.89 units

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The point of intersection of
and
is the solution of the two equations.
We add equation (1) and equation(2) to get,
We put into equation (1) to get,
Therefore the line passes through the point, .
The line also passes through the point of intersection of
and
We subtract equation (3) from equation (4) to obtain,
We substitute this value into equation (4) to get,
The line also passes through
The slope of the line is
The equation of the line is
is the required equation
