Triangle pqr has vertices p (4,-1),q(-2,7), and r (9,9). find an equation of the median from r

A median intersects at the midpoint of the opposite length. The midpoint is:

x,m = (4+-2)/2 = 1
y,m = (-1+7)/2 = 3

The midpoint is at (1,3). With this point and point R(9,9), the equation would be:

y = mx + b, where
m = (9 - 3)/(9 - 1) = 0.75
b is the y-intercept
Substituting any point,
3 = 0.75(1)+b
b = 2.25

Thus, the equation for the median is:

y = 0.75x + 2.25

If i think this is what your asking, he should look at the grams or pounds/ounces and compare the to their cost then max can identify which one is proportional and which is not ( i think xd)
