Options
- A(0, 2)
- B(1, 2)
- C(1, 2)
- D(2, 1)
Correct answer
A. (0, 2)
Step-by-step solution
The triangle formed by the lines y= 3 x, y=- 3 x and y=3 is shown in the figure. We can observe that the triangle A B C is an isosceles triangle. Therefore, the incentre lie on the median to the base. Since D is mid-point of B C . So, O D is median to the base B C . Thus, incentre of A B C lie on Y -axis.
