Question

Plz help ASAP anyone...

A triangle has vertices P(1, 3), Q(3, 5), and R(6, 2).
The slope of the median to QR is
a. 1/7
b -1/2
c. 1

Answer 1

1/7

Explanation:

Answer 2

The answer is a. 1/7
The length of QR is 3 sqrt(2) which means half of that is where the median intersects. Since the triangle formed is a right triangle with legs that are equal. The vertex angles are 45°, we can get the coordinates of the point of intersection which is (4.5,3.5).
So,
m (slope) = (3.5-3)/(4.5-1) = 1/7
