**"How To..."**
===Group 2: Find the equation of a triangle's median from one vertex given 3 points. You may use triangle A(-4, 5), B(-3, 2) and C (0, 4) to demonstrate with the median from vertex A. ===

Steps 1. Find the midpoint of line BC 2. Find the slope between vertex A and the Midpoint of BC 3. Find the y-intercept 4. make the equation

1. To find the midpoint, use the formula (shown below) and sub in the x and y values of B and C. Solve it algebraically. 2. To find the slope, use the formula (shown below) and sub in the x and y values of the vertex A and the midpoint. 3. To find the y-intercept, sub in the slope and points of the vertex A or the midpoint into an equation (y= mx + b). 4. Sub in the slope and y-intercept that you found, into the equation. And you're done ! :)
