A median of a triangle is a line segment joining a vertex of a triangle to the midpoint of the opposite side. Let's try this out with a particular triangle. Consider the triangle ABC with A=(5,4),B=(9,6),C=(1,4).

(a) Let  D,E,F be the midpoints of  ¯BC,¯AC,¯AB  respectively. Find the equations of medians   and ¯AD,¯BE,¯CF.

(b) Show that the three medians in part (a) all pass through the same point.
