MEDALS FORSURRREEE HELP \\\\\\\\\///////////////
Do youhave graph paper?
nope....
Know the mid-point formula?
Nope i do not.
The co-ordinates of midpoint(x,y) on the line segment with end-points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is just the average of co-ordinates, given by : \(\large x=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}\) \(\large y=\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\)
Hint: E is the mid-point of A and B. so with the given formula, can you try to find point E ?
do i need to substitute?
yes, x1, y1 = -3,-1 x2,y2 = 6,-3
g is 0,-3 because the lines cordinate to numbers f is i think -2.5,4 or 4,-2.5 cordinating to thedashes/lines on the triangle
so? what did you get the co-ordinates of E as?
Hold on hahhaaa.
is it (0,-2.5)? @hartnn
how did you get that? and NO
i substituted the x1 y1 and x2 y2 INTO THE EQUATION...
x = (-6+3)/2 = .. y = (-1 + (-3))/2 = ..
(1.5,1)?
6-3 = 3 so, x = 3/2 -1-3 = -4 so y = -2 E = (3/2 , -2)
now F, it is the mid-point of E and B so now x1,y1 = 3/2, -2 x2,y2 = 6,-3 use the same formula!
okay hahaa lemme try again
Okay so im obviously doing something wrong, I got (3.75,-2.5)
6+3/2 = 15/2 so x = 15/4 -2-3 = -5 so y = -5/2 F = -5,-5/2
oops, F = 15/4, -5/2
Okay so what now?
you already got E and F thats what you wanted
it was f and g that i neeeded rofl.
means you still need point G
yeahhh.
G divides segment CB internally in the ratio 1:3 (1 parts to 3 parts)
so we use the internal division formula. \(x = \dfrac{m_1x_1 +m_2x_2 }{m_1+m_2}\) \(y = \dfrac{m_1y_1 +m_2y_2 }{m_1+m_2}\)
I dont understand that alll. whats m mean?
here, m1 = 1, m2 = 3 x1, y1 = -3,-3 x2,y2 = 6,-3
