JEE Main & Advanced Mathematics Straight Line Question Bank Problems related to triangle and quadrilateral Locus

  • question_answer
    The point moves such that the area of the triangle formed by it with the points (1, 5) and (3, ?7) is 21sq. unit. The locus of the point is [Kerala (Engg.) 2002]

    A)            \[6x+y-32=0\]                           

    B)            \[6x-y+32=0\]

    C)            \[x+6y-32=0\]                           

    D)            \[6x-y-32=0\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               Let the point be \[(x,\,y).\] Area of triangle with points \[(x,\,y),\,(1,\,5)\] and \[(3,\,-7)\] is 21 sq. units                    \ \[\frac{1}{2}\left| \,\begin{matrix}    x & y & 1  \\    1 & 5 & 1  \\    3 & -7 & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right|=21\]                    Solving; locus of point \[(x,\,y)\] is \[6x+y-32=0\].
