COMEDK · Maths · 10. Straight Lines

A straight lines meets the coordinates axes at \(A\) and \(B\), so that the centroid of the \(\triangle O A B\) is \((1,2)\). Then, the equation of the line \(A B\) is

  1. A \(x+y=6\)
  2. B \(2 x+y=6\)
  3. C \(x+2 y=6\)
  4. D \(3 x+y=6\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2 x+y=6\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since, straight line meets the coordinate axes at \(A\) and \(B\), so equation of line intercept form is \(\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=1\). Let \(G\) represents the centroid of \(\triangle O A B\). Given that \(G=(1,2)\). \(\therefore\) Centroid…
