Question 840573: Suppose you are given the coordinates of the vertices of TRIANGLE GHI. Which of the following pieces of information will help you determine the equation of the median from H?
a) The coordinates of H and the length of GI
b) The slope of GI and the coordinates of H
c) the midpoint,M, of GI and the slope of HM
d) the length of GH and the slope of HI.

You would need to know the midpoint of GI since the median goes from a vertex through a midpoint (on the opposite side)

In addition, you would need to know the slope of this line.

So that's why the answer is c) the midpoint,M, of GI and the slope of HM
