Question : 23
Total: 74
The vertices of ΔPQR are P(2, 1), Q(–2, 3) and R(4, 5). Find equation of the median through the vertex R.
Solution:
The vertices of ΔPQR are P(2, 1), Q(–2, 3) and R(4, 5).
Let S be the midpoint of PQ.
So, S =(
,
) = (0, 2)
Equation of median RS is
=
⇒
=
⇒ 4y - 20 = 3x - 12
⇒ 3x – 4y + 8 = 0 is the required equation.
Let S be the midpoint of PQ.
So, S =
Equation of median RS is
⇒
⇒ 3x – 4y + 8 = 0 is the required equation.
