Please i need math help.?

Question

Write an equation of the line that contains the median of traingle RST from S to line RT.

Write the equation of the line that contains the altitude of triangle RST from T to line RS


Line R coordinates are 0, 1
line S coordinates are -4, 7
Line T coordinates are 4, 7

Answer 1

By symmetry, this is an isoceles triangle. The median will divide the line from (0,1) to (4,7) at its midpoint, which is (2,4). Since the median passes through (-4,7), the slope is -1/2. To find the intercept, 4 = (-1/2)2+intercept. So the median is y = -x/2 + 5 . The altitude will be perpendicular to the line with coordinates (-4,7) and (0,1), which has a slope of -3/2. So the altitude has a slope of 2/3 and passes through (4,7). By the exercise above, you can find the intercept of the altitude.

Answer 2

okay. Here's your math help:

1+2=3
