Answer to Problem 17PSB

The equation of the median from C to AB is y=17x+57 .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The given figure is as follows.

  Geometry For Enjoyment And Challenge, Chapter 13.2, Problem 17PSB

Calculation:

Find the mid-point of the line AC .

  Midpoint=(x1+x22,y1+y22)=(2+42,1+122)=(3,132)

Find the mid-point of the line BC .

  Midpoint=(x1+x22,y1+y22)=(4+162,12+32)=(10,152)

Find the slope.

Substitute 3 for x1 , 10 for x2 , 152 for y2 and 132 for y1 in the equation m=y2y1x2x1 .

  m=152132103=227=17

Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the midpoints of AC and BC is 17 .
