Question

3. Given the triangle ABC with vertices A (2, 5) B (4, -1) and C (-2, -5). Find the equation of the Median from A.

Answer 1

Answer:

Mid point of BC, say D = (1, -3)

So equation of AD, using two point form is

$y - 5 = \frac{ - 3 - 5}{1 - 2} (x - 2) \\ y - 5 = 8(x - 2) \\ y - 5 = 8x - 16 \\ 8x - y - 11 = 0$
