Algebra.Com's Answer #766740 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Same problem. \n" ); document.write( "=================== \n" ); document.write( "For side AB. \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "Step 1, find the midpoint. Do you know how to do that? \n" ); document.write( "Step 2, find the slope of AB. Call it m \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "The slope of lines perpendicular is the negative inverse. \n" ); document.write( "---> -1/m \n" ); document.write( "Call that m2. \n" ); document.write( "=============== \n" ); document.write( "Step 3, use y - y1 = m2*(x-x1) where (x1,y1) is the midpoint. \n" ); document.write( "=================== \n" ); document.write( "Given triangle ABC with vertices A(−3, 0), B(0, 6), and C(4, 6). \n" ); document.write( "a.
