∙ 13y agoIn order to find the median of a line, you first have to find the the coordinates of the point. In order to do this, you must use the midpoint formula : x = x2+x1/2 y=y2+y1/2. Then, you find the equation of the line of the median, so if you have triangle ABC and you want to find the median of CM (M is the point that we found the coordinates for), you find the slope of the line and put all of that in the equation for point-slope and change it to standard form.
get them from j6 located in the saloon. you have to complete his little quiz in order to get coordinates.
A pair of coordinates
I'm trying to solve this as well, but it seems that my may of going about it is off, or my work is screwed up and this is what I have gotten so far. I labeled an isosceles trapezoid as ABCD on a graph where A=(0,0) B=(b,c) C=(d,c) and D=(a,0) so using the midpoint formula midpt=((x1-x2)/(2)),((y1-y2)/(2)) to find the midpoint coordinates I get AB=((b)/(2),(C)/(2)) BC=((b+d)/(2),(c)) CD=((d+a)/2),(c)/(2)) and DA=((a)/(2),(0)) Then in order to prove a quadrilateral is a rhombus you can either prove all sides are congruent or prove that the diagonal's slopes are negative reciprocals and this is where my work falls apart... I end up getting that AB-CD=((0)/(2b-2d-2a)) and that BC-DA=((c)/(2b+2d-2a)) So I'm not really sure if my work is bad or my method but I hope this can help you solve it yourself.
yes, it does
yes (We have more to say on the subject, but are limited by the restrictions in the question.)
The 'x' coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the 'x' coordinatesof the end points.The 'y' coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the 'y' coordinatesof the end points.Note:In order to use this handy factoid, you'll need to know how to find the averageof two numbers.

The slope for a line between two points is (difference of y-coordinates) divided by (difference of x-coordinates). That is, (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). It doesn't matter in what order you take the points.
The formula is the rainbow, the boot with grass, the frog, and then the little alien. The order doesn't matter

Coordinates
Yes, you put the ones on the x axis first then the ones on the y axis. this is due to the way you read it. hope i helped 2000AD
The 3-D distance formula depends upon what the two points are that you are trying to find the distance between. In order to find the formula, you need to enter 2 sets of coordinates in the 3 dimensional Cartesian coordinate system, and then calculate the distance between the points.
Hi You take two graph points x,y and x1,y1 Use the midpoint equation : (x1+x)/2 = midpoint x , and (y1+y)/2 = midpoint y For a example (1,3) and ( 4,5) What the midpoint of it? Midpoint x = (4+1)/2 = 5/2 = 2 1/2 Midpoint y = (5+3)/2 = 8/2 = 4 So the midpoint of points (1,3) and (4,5) is ( 2 1/2 , 4 ) Just graph it and will see for yourself it works.
The order in which calculations are performed in a formula is called the order of operations.
(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) is the formula for the slope of a line. In this case, the formula with the points plugged-in would be (-1 - (-3))/(5 - 3). Simplified, the slope is 1. Of course, the order in which you plug-in the coordinates doesn't affect the slope of the line.
