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

2y - 8 = 3x - 15
3x - 2y = 7 - - - equation of median
⇒ We have A(4,5) and B( - 3, - 2)

⇒ 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
