In 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.

What is a median of a triangle?
A median of a triangle is a line from a vertex of the triangle to the midpoint of the side opposite that vertex.
Is the angle bisector also the median in an equilateral triangle?
No. The angle bisector is a line. Where the three lines meet is the median. In an equilateral triangle the INTERSECTION of the angle bisectors is the median.
How many median are in a triangle?
Median is the line drawn from the vertex to the mid point of the opposite side. Hence there are three medians possible.
What is another name for the 180 degree median?
In geometry, a median is a straight line joining a vertex of a triangle to the midpoint on the opposite side. Being a straight line there are no angles on it so no 180 deg. In statistics, the median in the value of the middle-ranking observation. So, if there is a set of observations of angles, it is possible that the median is 180 degrees but there is no special name.
