You can put this solution on YOUR website! Given triangle ABC with vertices A(−3, 0), B(0, 6), and C(4, 6).
a. Find the equations of the three medians of triangle ABC
Step 1, find the midpoints of the 3 line segments.
Step 2, find the equations of the 3 lines:
A to the midpoint of BC
B to the midpoint of AC
C to the midpoint of AB
===============
b. Find the equations of the three altitudes of the same triangle
Find the equations of the lines perpendicular to the AB, AC and BC thru the point C, B and A respectively.
=================
It's tedious and repetitious, but you get practice on how to do it.
I don't need the practice.
