I REALLY NEED HELP!!! I WILL GIVE MEDALS!!

Given Trinagle ABC with A(-4, -2), B(4,4), and C(18,-8), answer questions 21-24. 1. Write the equation of the line containing the altitude that passes through B in standard form. 2. Write the equation of the line containing the median that passes through point C in slope-intercept form. 3. Write an equation for the line containing a perpendicular bisector of AC in point-slope form.

@SSwager4414 do you think you knowit?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ill try to figure it out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For number 1, the line goes through the vertex at x=5, but the only equation that I saw thatr worked is y=x, which I don't know how to prove that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@bashirk did you say anything?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y2-y1 x2-x1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find the slope to find the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ummm ok. So rise over run. Except I thought it was (y1-y2/x1-x2)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y-y=m(x2-x1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right, point-slope form. I just dont know how to get there. I dont know what other point to use in question number 1.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A(-4,-2) B(4,4) X1 Y1 x2 y2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4minus or add(-2) over 4-(-4)= 6 over 8= 3 over 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, if I use those points it would be (-2-4/-4-4) which would be -6/-8, which would be -3/-4, but it would become positive, so it would be 3/4.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, so do i put it into point-slope form now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=3/4x+1
