Solve Question:

A(5,4). B( - 3, - 2) and C(1, - 8) are the vertices of a triangle ABC. Find the equation of median AD and line parallel to AB passing through point C.


To find slope of AD we need to find D, which is midpoint of BC




Thus and


Finding equation by 2-point form






2y - 8 = 3x - 15


3x - 2y = 7 - - - equation of median


We have A(4,5) and B( - 3, - 2)


Finding equation by 2-point form





4y - 16 = 3x - 15


4y = 3x + 1



Let Equation parallel to AB passing through C


Y = mx + c


Since it is parallel to AB it will have same slope





C(1, - 8) must satisfy the equation






4y = 3x - 25


3x - 4y = 35
