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

Let \(A (-3, 2)\) and \(B (-2, 1)\) be the vertices of a triangle \(ABC\). If the centroid of this triangle lies on the line \(3x + 4y + 2 = 0\), then the vertex \(C\) lies on the line

  1. A \(4x +3y+5= 0\)
  2. B \(3x +4y+3=0\)
  3. C \(4x +3y+3=0\)
  4. D \(3x + 4y + 5 = 0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(3x +4y+3=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(C\left( {{x_1},{y_1}} \right)\) Centroid, \(E = \left( {\frac{{{x_1} - 5}}{3},\frac{{{x_1} - 3}}{3}} \right)\) Since centroid lies on the line \(3x + 4y + 2 = 0\) \(\therefore 3\left( {\frac{{{x_1} - 5}}{3}} \right) + 4\left( {\frac{{{x_1} - 3}}{3}} \right) + 2 = 0\)…
