Find the slopes of the medians of a triangle whose vertices are P(1, 3), Q(3, 5), and R(6, 2). (Use fraction formats.) median to QR: m = median to PR: m = median to PQ: m =
to find slope just take (y1-y2)/(x1-x2) so for PQ it would be (3-5)/(1-3) which it would equal -1 just rinse and repeat with the other 2
i could be doing it totally wrong but i tried that and the program that grades my stuff wont accept the answers i come up with?
what are you coming up with?
QR= -1 PR= -1/5 PQ= -1
cause the way you explained it was how the lesson explained it but i must be doing something wrong?
opps when i sent the orig back i didnt cancel the dbl negative pq should be 1 not -1
my bad =p
its all good =]] yea i reworked it and put that in the box and it rejected that to?
i dont know what program your using but those are the right answers, might be a typo by whoever wrote the answers into the program
yea thats happened before thanks for your help
