The area of a triangle is 5 sq. unit. Two of its vertices are (2, 1) and (3, -2). Find its third vertex which lies on $y=x+3$. |
(2, 1) or $\left(-\frac{1}{2},\frac{11}{2}\right)$ $\left(\frac{7}{2},\frac{13}{2}\right)$ or $\left(\frac{-3}{2},\frac{3}{2}\right)$ $\left(\frac{13}{2},\frac{-1}{2}\right)$ or $\left(\frac{7}{2},\frac{-3}{2}\right)$ $\left(\frac{-3}{2},\frac{7}{2}\right)$ or $\left(\frac{13}{2},\frac{1}{2}\right)$ |
$\left(\frac{7}{2},\frac{13}{2}\right)$ or $\left(\frac{-3}{2},\frac{3}{2}\right)$ |
The correct answer is Option (2) → $\left(\frac{7}{2},\frac{13}{2}\right)$ or $\left(\frac{-3}{2},\frac{3}{2}\right)$ Use Elimination method by putting all values of x and y in the given equation. Only 2nd option satisfies the situation 1st, 3rd and 4th options are eliminated.
The correct answer is Option (2) → $\left(\frac{7}{2},\frac{13}{2}\right)$ or $\left(\frac{-3}{2},\frac{3}{2}\right)$ |
