- Since
is a median of , then is the mid-point of . Let . Then by the mid-point formula, we haveAlso,
Therefore,
.Since
is a horizontal line, then is a vertical line. Hence, the -coordinate ofLet
. Since , then we haveTherefore, the coordinates of
are .Since
is a horizontal line, then the perpendicular bisector of is a vertical line. Hence, the -coordinate ofLet
. Since is the mid-point of , then is the perpendicular bisector of . Hence, we haveTherefore, the coordinates of
are . - Sketch the graph according to the question.
- Since
, then we have or (rejected). - Note that the coordinates of
and are and respectively.The slope of
The slope of
Since
and is the common point, then , and are collinear. - Add the angle bisector of
to the graph. Let be the foot of perpendicular of on .Since
and , then and are tangents to the inscribed circle of at and respectively.Therefore, the coordinates of
are , i.e. .Since
is a vertical line, then the -coordinates of and are equal. Let .Note that
and are radii of the inscribed circle of .Therefore, the coordinates of
are .By the result of (a) and (b)(i), the coordinates of
are .Since
is the perpendicular bisector of , then we have and .
