JEE Mains · Maths · STD 11 - 9. straight line

A point \(P\) moves on the line \(2x -3y + 4 = 0\). If \(Q(1, 4)\) and \(R(3, -2)\) are fixed points, then the locus of the centroid of \(\Delta PQR\) is a line

  1. A with slope \(\frac{3}{2}\)
  2. B parallel to \(x-\) axis
  3. C with slope \(\frac{2}{3}\)
  4. D parallel to \(y-\) axis
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) with slope \(\frac{2}{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let point \(P\) is \(\left( {\alpha ,\beta } \right)\,\) and center of \(\Delta PQR\) is \((h,k)\), then \(3h = \alpha + 1 + 3\,\,\) and \(3k = \beta + 4 - 2\) \( \Rightarrow \alpha = 3h - 4\) and \(\beta = 3k - 2\) Because \(\left( {\alpha ,\beta } \right)\) lies on…
