The equations of two sides AB and AC of a triangle ABC are 4 x+y=14 and 3 x-2 y=5 , respectively. The point (2,- 4 3 ) divides the third side BC internally in the ratio 2: 1 . the equation of the side BC is
Options
- Ax+3 y+2=0
- Bx-6 y-10=0
- Cx-3 y-6=0
- Dx+6 y+6=0
Correct answer
A. x+3 y+2=0
Step-by-step solution
aligned & 2 x ₂+ x ₁ 3 =2, 2 ( 3 x ₂-5 2 )+ (14-4 x ₁ ) 3 = -4 3 & 2 x ₂+ x ₁=6,3 x ₂-4 x ₁=-13 & x ₂=1, x ₁=4 aligned So, C (1,-1), B (4,-2) m = -1 3 Equation of BC : y +1= -1 3 ( x -1) aligned & 3 y+3=-x+1 & x+3 y+2=0 aligned
