Question

Find the equation of the median from B, in ABC whose vertices are A(1, 5), B(5, 3), and

C(-3, -2). Include a sketch.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Midpoint of AC = M(-1, 1.5)

Slope of BM = (1.5 - 3)/(-1 - 5) = ¼

Point-slope equation for line of slope ¼ that passes through B(5,3):

y-3 = ¼(x-5)
