: `(A) x-2=0`
`(B) 6x+7y+65=0`
`(C) 6x-7y+79=0`
(D) All of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let the triangle be ABC
Let the mid points be : `D (2,1) E (-5,7) & F (-5,-5)` of the sides of a triangle BC , AB , & AC respectively
∴ `Slope (m) = (y_2​−y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`
​​ `m_DE​ = (1-7)/(2−(−5)) =(−6)/7`
​ `m_EF​=(7−(−5)​)/(−5−(−5))=12/0`​=undefined (vertical line)
