Find the coordinates of the vertices of a triangle, the equations ofwhose sides are: (i) x + y – 4 = 0, 2x – y + 3 0 and x – 3y + 2 = 0

(ii) y (t1 + t2) = 2x + 2at1t2,y (t2 + t3) = 2x + 2at2t3 and,y(t3 + t1) = 2x + 2at1t3.



Answer -

(i) x + y – 4 = 0, 2x – y+ 3 0 and x – 3y + 2 = 0

Given:

x + y − 4 = 0, 2x − y+ 3 = 0 and x − 3y + 2 = 0

Let us find the pointof intersection of pair of lines.

x + y − 4 = 0 … (1)

2x − y + 3 = 0 … (2)

x − 3y + 2 = 0 … (3)

By solving (1) and (2)using cross – multiplication method, we get

x = 1/3, y = 11/3

Solving (1) and (3)using cross – multiplication method, we get

x = 5/2, y = 3/2

Similarly, solving (2)and (3) using cross – multiplication method, we get

x = – 7/5, y = 1/5

 The coordinatesof the vertices of the triangle are (1/3, 11/3), (5/2, 3/2) and (-7/5, 1/5)

(ii) y (t1 +t2) = 2x + 2at1t2, y (t2 + t3)= 2x + 2at2t3 and, y(t3 + t1)= 2x + 2at1t3.

Given:

y (t1 +t2) = 2x + 2a t1t2, y (t2 + t3)= 2x + 2a t2t3 and y (t3 + t1)= 2x + 2a t1t3

Let us find the pointof intersection of pair of lines.

2x − y (t1 +t2) + 2a t1t2 = 0 … (1)

2x − y (t2 +t3) + 2a t2t3 = 0 … (2)

2x − y (t3 +t1) + 2a t1t3 = 0 … (3)

By solving (1) and (2)using cross – multiplication method, we get

Solving (1) and (3)using cross – multiplication method, we get

Solving (2) and (3)using cross – multiplication method, we get

 The coordinatesof the vertices of the triangle are (at21, 2at1), (at22,2at2) and (at23, 2at3).
