Answer:

Given,

ABC is triangle with vertices A(-2,1), B(2,2) and C(6, -2)

Slope of BC(m_1) =\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{6-2}{-2-2}

=\frac{4}{-4}=-1

Since AD is perpendicular to BC

let slope of BC be (m_2).

We have for perpendicular

m_1*m_2=-1

-1*m_2=-1

m_2=1

Now equation of line passing through point A(-2,1) is

y-y_1=m_2(x-x_1)

y-1=1(x-(-2))

y-1=x+2

y=x+2+1

y=x+3 which is a required equation of the altitude of AD drawn from A to BC.

i need help with my math :( im horrable with it i cant do divideing fractions nor multiply and i dont know most of my multiples
vladimir1956 [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

To multiply the fractions, like

\frac{1}{4}  \times  \frac{1}{9}

Multiply the top,

then multiply the bottom.

\frac{1}{4}  \times  \frac{1}{9}  =  \frac{1 \times 1}{4 \times 9}  =  \frac{1}{36}

Try to use a calculator if you aren't arithmetic heavy, but I suggest you to try to remember them because they are going to be helpful for courses like Algebra, Calculus, Statistics, etc.

To divide fractions, like

\frac{ \frac{1}{5} }{ \frac{1}{8} }

You take the top number,

\frac{1}{5}

Then you flip the bottom number,

\frac{8}{1}

Then multiply the two

\frac{1}{5}  \times  \frac{8}{1}  =  \frac{8}{5}

And that is your answer. Comment if you need more clarification
