Determine,algebraically, the vertices of the triangle formed by the lines

3x┬атАУ┬аy┬а=3

2x┬атАУ 3y┬а=2

x┬а+ 2y┬а= 8



Answer -

Solution:

3x тАУ y = 2 тАж(i)

2x -3y = 2 тАж(ii)

x + 2y = 8 тАж(iii)

Let the equations ofthe line (i), (ii) and (iii) represent the side of a тИЖABC.

On solving (i) and(ii),

We get,

[First,multiply Eq. (i) by 3 in Eq. (i) and then subtract]

(9x-3y)-(2x-3y) = 9-2

7x = 7

x = 1

Substituting x=1 inEq. (i), we get

3├Ч1-y = 3

y = 0

So, the coordinate ofpoint B is (1, 0)

On solving lines (ii)and (iii),

We get,

[First,multiply Eq. (iii) by 2 and then subtract]

(2x + 4y)-(2x-3y) =16-2

7y = 14

y = 2

Substituting y=2 inEq. (iii), we get

x + 2 ├Ч 2 = 8

x + 4 = 8

x = 4

Hence, the coordinateof point C is (4, 2).

On solving lines (iii)and (i),

We get,

[First,multiply in Eq. (i) by 2 and then add]

(6x-2y) + (x + 2y) = 6+ 8

7x = 14

x = 2

Substituting x=2 inEq. (i), we get

3 ├Ч 2 тАУ y = 3

y = 3

So, the coordinate ofpoint A is (2, 3).

Hence, the vertices ofthe тИЖABC formed by the given lines are as follows,

A (2, 3), B (1, 0) andC (4, 2).
