Two vertices of triangle are (-2,-1) and (3,2) and third vertex lies on the line `x+y=5.` If the area of the triangle is 4 square units, then the third vertex is a. (-0,50 or (4,1) b. (5,0) of (1,4) c. (5,0) or (4,1) d. (o,5) or (1,4)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let` (h, k) `be the third vertex of the triangle
It is given that the area of the triangle with vertices` (h, k), (-2, -1) and (3, 2)` is `4` square units.
`(1/2)h(−1−2)−3(−1−k)−2(2−k)=4`
`\Rightarrow 3h−5k+1=±8`
Taking positive sign, we get,
