\n" );
document.write( "Median CD contains Pt(2,6) and the midpoint(4,2), which is ([7+1]/2,[3+1]/2)
\n" );
document.write( "SLOPE = (2-6)/(4-2) = -2
\n" );
document.write( "y = -2x + b Using ordered pair Pt(4,2) to solve for b
\n" );
document.write( "2 = -8 + b
\n" );
document.write( "10= b     y = -2x +10  the equation of the line containing CD
