Indicate the equation of the given line in standard form.The line containing the median of the trapezoid whose vertices are R(-1, 5) , S(1, 8), T(7, -2), and U(2, 0).

Question

anonymous · Answer

Do you know to form the line equation when the coordinates of two points through which the line is passing are given??

anonymous · Answer

i don't think so because i don't really understand your question

anonymous · Answer

See, if you are given the coordinates of any two points, can you find the equation of the line passing through the two points??

anonymous · Answer

oh yes i can

anonymous · Answer

could you help me determine what points to use in my formula

anonymous · Answer

median of a trapezoid passes through the midpoints of the non parallel sides.
So take the midpoint

anonymous · Answer

which side should i take the midpoint from?

anonymous · Answer

|dw:1399023722540:dw|

anonymous · Answer

PQ is the median.
P is midpoint of R and U
Q is midpoint of S and T
