The x-coordinate of the altitude on EF is the same as the point D(4, 5) and by calculation, the height from D (1, 5) is also median from D (1, 5)
The height from D is perpendicular to EF
The slope of EF = (8 - 2)/(1 - 1) = ∞
Therefore, the side EF is parallel to the y-axis.
Therefore, the coordinates of the point of intersection of the altitude from D and the line EF is (1, 5)
The median is the midpoint of the side EF
The coordinates of the midpoint is found as follows;
[tex] \mathbf{ \left(1 + \frac{1 - 1}{2}, \: 1 + \frac{8 - 2}{2}\right)} = (1 ,5)[/tex]
Therefore;
