Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 of 3
See the attached figure
We have P (4,3), Q (-2,3), R (1,-2)
First we need to find out the midpoint "S" of the line QR
Mid-point = [(x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2]
Mid-point = (1-2/2, -2+3/2)
Mid-point =S= (-1/2, 1/2)
Step 2 of 3
Now to find slope of the line PS = y2-y2/x2-x1
P (4, 3)
Slope of PS = 3-1/2/4+1/2
Slope =5/2/9/2
Slope of PS = 5/9
Step 3 of 3
Now equation of the line passing through the point (-1,-3) is given by
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-(-3)=5/9(x-(-1)
y+3=5/9(x+1)
9(y+3)=5(x+1)
9y+27=5x+5
5x-9y-22=0

Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equation of the median of the triangle with vertices (4,3),(-2,3),(1,-2) passing through (-1,-3) is
- So we have P(4,3) Q(-2,3) R(1,2)
- The midpoint of Q and R is S
- So we have (x1 + x2 / 2, y1 + y2 / 2)
- So we have the median S = (-2 + 1 / 2, -2 + 3 / 2)
- Or S = (-1/2 , ½ )
- We get Slope of PS = m = y2 – y1 / x2 – x2
- (-1/2,1/2 ) (4,3)
- Slope = 3 – ½ / 4 + ½
- = 5/2 / 9/2
- = 5/9
- The line passing through the point and the equation will be (y – y1) = m(x – x1)
- So the point is (-1,-3) and m = 5/9
- So we get
- Substituting we get (y + 3) = 5/9 (x + 3)
- Y + 3 = 5x + 15 / 9
- Simplifying we get 5x + 15 = 9y + 27
- 5x – 9y – 12 = 0
