9.Straight Line
medium

If $A$ is $(2, 5)$, $B$ is $(4, -11)$ and $ C$ lies on $9x + 7y + 4 = 0$, then the locus of the centroid of the $\Delta ABC$ is a straight line parallel to the straight line is

A

$7x - 9y + 4 = 0$

B

$9x - 7y - 4 = 0$

C

$9x + 7y + 4 = 0$

D

$7 + 9y + 4 = 0$

Solution

(c) According to question , ${x_1} = \frac{{2 + 4 + x}}{3} \Rightarrow x = 3{x_1} – 6$

${y_1} = \frac{{5 – 11 + y}}{3} \Rightarrow y = 3{y_1} + 6$

$\therefore $ $9(3{x_1} – 6) + 7(3{y_1} + 6) + 4 = 0$

Hence locus is $27x + 21y – 8 = 0$, which is parallel to $9x+7y+4 = 0.$
