Coordinates of the midpoint of AC:
M ( (-6-2) / 2) , ( 7-9 ) /2 ) = ( -4, -1 )
d ( BM ) = √ ( 4 + 4 )² + ( -1+ 1 )²
d ( BM ) =   √  8 ²  =√ 64 = 8
The length of the median from angle B is 8.

Answer:  The length of the median from angle B is 8 units.

Step-by-step explanation:  As shown in the attached figure, A(-6, 7), B(4, -1) and C(-2, -9) are the vertices of ΔABC.

We are to find the length of the median BD from angle B to side AC.

Since BD is the median on side AC. So, D will be the mid-point of side AC.

Therefore, the co-ordinates of the point 'D' are

\left(\dfrac{-6+(-2)}{2},\dfrac{7+(-9)}{2}\right)=\left(\dfrac{-8}{2},\dfrac{-2}{2}\right)=(-4,-1).

Now, the length of median BD is equal to the distance between the vertex 'B' and the point 'D'.

Therefore, the length of median BD calculated using distance formula is

BD=\sqrt{(-4-4)^2+(-1+1)^2}\\\\\Rightarrow BD=\sqrt{64+0}\\\\\Rightarrow BD=\sqrt{64}\\\\\Rightarrow BD=8.

Thus, the length of the median from angle B is 8 units.

Answere: I believe that the answere is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well,since the lines A and B are paralel and the line y is not paralel with any of then y and A are not paralel.Plus there is not a line called x in this particular equazion.If you have any questions , please contact me.

Yours sincerely,

Solve the system
Helga [31]
The answer is actually choice A

---------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------

If we add up the equations straight down we will have 0a+2b = 6

Note how adding the 'a' terms gives us 3a + (-3a) = 3a-3a = 0a. The 0a term is really 0 since 0 times anything is 0. So the 'a' terms will go away

The equation 0a+2b = 6 turns into 0+2b = 6 and that simplifies to 2b = 6

To isolate b, we divide both sides by 2

2b = 6
2b/2 = 6/2
b = 3

We can stop here since only one answer choice has b = 3, which is choice A. However, let's keep going to find the value of 'a'

Plug b = 3 into any equation with 'a' and 'b', then solve for 'a'

3a+4b = 9
3a+4*3 = 9
3a+12 = 9
3a+12-12 = 9-12
3a = -3
3a/3 = -3/3
a = -1

So a = -1 and b = 3 pair up to form (a,b) = (-1,3)

--------------------------------------

To check, plug this ordered pair back into both equations

Equation 1:
3a+4b = 9
3*(-1)+4*3 = 9
-3+12 = 9
9 = 9
Equation 1 has been checked out

Equation 2:
-3a-2b = -3
-3(-1)-2(3) = -3
3 - 6 = -3
-3 = -3
this is true as well

So this confirms that the final answer is choice A
