I guess you'll have to find the Median.  Where is it?

jazilove · Answer

have no clue

tkhunny · Answer

You'll have to do better than that.

Is it the intersection of the altitudes?
Is it the intersection of the angle bisectors?

What is it?

jazilove · Answer

median of a triangle is a segment whose endpoints area a vertex and the midpoint of the opposite side

jazilove · Answer

is that correct?

tkhunny · Answer

Super.  Find it.  Use your best geometry and your best algebra.

jazilove · Answer

I'm very tired and very confused

tkhunny · Answer

That does make it harder  Plot the points and see if it is easier than you are thinking..

jazilove · Answer

how do I plot the points ._.

jazilove · Answer

I know how to plot points, but am i supposed to draw a graph?

tkhunny · Answer

Draw an x-y coordinate system, designate the axes, and start plotting.
