In a triangle P Q R , the co-ordinates of the points P and Q are - 2 , 4 and 4 , - 2 respectively. If the equation of the perpendicular bisector of P R is 2 x - y + 2 = 0 , then the centre of the circumcircle of the Δ P Q R is:
Options
- A– 1 ,   0
- B– 2 ,   – 2
- C0 ,   2
- D1 ,   4
Correct answer
B. – 2 ,   – 2
Step-by-step solution
Perpendicular bisector of P R is 2 x - y + 2 = 0 Midpoint of P Q is M 1 , 1 Equation of perpendicular bisector of P Q is y = x . Point of intersection of equations P R and P Q is circumcentre. So, circumcentre is - 2 , - 2
