The median (the green line) connects the vertex A(3,4) to the midpoint of the opposite side CB. We find the midpoint of CB using the midpoint formula: Midpoint = Midpoint = Midpoint = Midpoint = M(0,-2) We find the equation of median AM. We use the slope formula: m = where (x1,y1) = A(3,4) and where (x2,y2) = M(0,-2) m = m = m = 2 Point-slope formula: y - y1 = m(x - x1) where m=2 and (x1,y1) = (3,4) y - 4 = 2(x - 3) y - 4 = 2x - 6 y = 2x - 2 Edwin
