Coordinate Geometry Question 149

Question: Circumcentre of the triangle formed by the line $ y=x,\y=2x $ and $ y=3x+4 $ is

Options:

A) (6, 8)

B) (6, - 8)

C) (3, 4)

D) (- 3, - 4)

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

$ x^{2}+y^{2}={{(x+4)}^{2}}+{{(y+8)}^{2}}\Rightarrow 8x+16y+80=0 $ and $ x^{2}+y^{2}={{(x+2)}^{2}}+{{(y+2)}^{2}}\Rightarrow 4x+4y+8=0 $ On simplification, we get $ y=-8 $ and $ x=6 $ .
