So for this question, first of all, it says that find out the coordinate of the midpoint of ac.
00:06
So the midpoint of two points will be x1 plus x2 divided by 2 and y1 plus y2 divided by 2.
00:18
So ac, a is at 2 3 and c is at 5 negative 3.
00:32
So the midpoint can be calculated by 2 plus 5 divided by 2 and 3 plus negative 3 divided by 2.
00:46
So this will give you 3 .5 and 0.
00:51
So this will be the midpoint of ac.
00:54
2.
00:55
The gradient of line ac.
01:00
Gradient formula basically can be calculated by a slope.
01:06
So m equals y2 minus y1 divided by x2, divided by x2, divide by x1.
01:13
So again, we're talking about ac, so the gradient equals negative 3 minus 3, divide by 5 minus 2, negative 2, 3.
01:37
The magnitude of ab, the matter of abx.
01:46
X basically means that the vector ab.
01:51
So vector ab basically is b minus a.
02:01
So basically b is negative 1, 0.
02:07
So negative 1 minus 2, which is a and 0 minus 3.
02:14
So ab is negative 3, negative 3, vector.
02:19
Then same idea, let's calculate ac, which is c minus a.
02:26
C is 5 minus 2 and native 3 minus 3.
02:35
So the vector ac is 3 -native 6.
02:38
All right, with that in mind, let's say ab vector cross ac is abx, multiply by acx minus aby, multiply by acy, multiply by acy, an absolute value.
03:16
So let's plug in all the value.
03:18
A, bx, negative 3, acx, and a, b, y is negative 3, multiply by acy negative 6...
