Q1
P will be centroid of 13.ABC

p ' D ⇒ PQ = ✓ (264) "+ (: ) = 5

Q2

k-a
slope of PQ = --- = -1
h-2a
⇒ k- a =-h + 2a X = 2y
h+k
⇒ a=-- ... (1)
3
Also 2h=2a+ /3
2k =a+ /3
⇒ 2h=a+ 2k
⇒ a =2h-2k ... (2)
from (1) and (2)
h+k
=2(h-k)

x2 + 2xy - 3y 2 = 0
x2 + 3xy - xy - 3y 2 = 0

HeremBc = 12 =2
-6 -1

SomAD = 2

A r(-1, 7)

B (-7, 1) D C (5., -5)

So equation of AD ⇒ y - 7=2(x + 1)
2x -y + 9 = 0
Now
mAc = �
-6
= -2 ⇒ mBE = .!.2
So equation of BE ⇒ (y - 1) = ½ (x + 7)
⇒ 2y - 2 = X + 7 ⇒ X - 2y + 9 = 0
On solving (i) and (ii)
2x -y + 9 = 0
X - 2y + 9 = 0
2x -y + 9 = 0
2x - 4y + 18 = 0
3y- 9 = 0
⇒ y=2
⇒ x=-3
So H= (-3, 3)

sin 0 = v'5

Coordinate of C = (1 + 2/5, 2 + 4/5)

abscissa of vertex C is 1 + 2/5
