You can put this solution on YOUR website! A triangle has vertices at A(4, -5),B(-2,3), and C(-1,7). Find the angle formed between its median and altitude both drawn to the side AC
------------
Find the 2 equations for the median and the altitude.
The median has 2 points, B(-2,3) and the midpoint of AC.
----
The altitude has the point B and is perpendicular to AC.
----
Find the 2 slopes for the lines, m1 & m2.
The slope is the tangent of the angle between the line and the x-axis.
