Let the equations of two sides of a triangle be 3x−2y+6=0and4x+5y−20=0.3x - 2y + 6 = 0 and 4x + 5y - 20 = 0 . If the orthocenter of this triangle is at (1,1)\left(1, 1\right) then the equation of it's third side is:Let the equations of two sides of a triangle be 3x - 2y + 6 = 0 and 4x + 5y - 20 = 0 . If the orthocenter of this

Options

  1. A122y+26x+1675=0122y + 26x + 1675 = 0
  2. B26x−122y−1675=026x - 122y - 1675 = 0
  3. C26x+61y+1675=026x + 61y + 1675 = 0
  4. D122y−26x−1675=0122y - 26x - 1675 = 0

Correct answer

B. 26x−122y−1675=026x - 122y - 1675 = 0

Step-by-step solution

To find equation of BC,BC, first we will find coordinates of BB and C.C .
Let the equations of two sides of a triangle be 3x - 2y + 6 = 0 and 4x + 5y - 20 = 0 . If the orthocenter of this
mAC=32{m}_{AC} = \dfrac{3}{2}

ACAC and BB′B{B}^{'} are perpendicular to each other

hence mBB′=−23{m}_{B{B}^{'}} = - \dfrac{2}{3}

Equation of line passing through (x1,y1)\left({x}_{1}, {y}_{1}\right) and having slope mm is y−y1=m(x−x1)y - {y}_{1} = m\left(x - {x}_{1}\right)

For equation of BB′B{B}^{'}

y−1=−23(x−1)y - 1 = \dfrac{- 2}{3}\left(x - 1\right)

⇒2x+3y=5........(1)⇒ 2x + 3y = 5 . . . . . . . . \left(1\right)

Point of intersection of ABAB and BB′B{B}^{'} ⇒B(352,−10)⇒ B\left(\dfrac{35}{2}, - 10\right)

Similarly point C(−13,−332)C\left(- 13, - \dfrac{33}{2}\right)

Equation of BCBC is, y−y1=y2−y1x2−x1(x−x1)y - {y}_{1} = \dfrac{{y}_{2} - {y}_{1}}{{x}_{2} - {x}_{1}}\left(x - {x}_{1}\right)

y+10=1361(x−352)y + 10 = \dfrac{13}{61}\left(x - \dfrac{35}{2}\right)

∴26x−122y−1675=0∴ 26x - 122y - 1675 = 0
