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?
ill try to figure it out
ok thanks
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.
@bashirk did you say anything?
y2-y1 x2-x1
find the slope to find the equation
ummm ok. So rise over run. Except I thought it was (y1-y2/x1-x2)?
y-y=m(x2-x1)
yea
right, point-slope form. I just dont know how to get there. I dont know what other point to use in question number 1.
A(-4,-2) B(4,4) X1 Y1 x2 y2
4minus or add(-2) over 4-(-4)= 6 over 8= 3 over 4
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.
yes
ok, so do i put it into point-slope form now?
y=3/4x+1
