If the algebraic sum of the perpendicula...

If the algebraic sum of the perpendiculars from the points `(2,0),(0,2),(1,1)` to a variable line be zero, then prove that line passes through a fixed-point whose coordinates are `(1,1)dot`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let the variable straight line be `ax+by+c=0 ...(1)`
given the algebraic sum of perpendiculars from `(2,0),(0,2) and (1,1)` is zero
So, `=>|2xxa+bxx0+cxx1|/(sqrt(a^2+b^2))+|0xxa+bxx2+ccc1|/(sqrt(a^2+b^2))+|1xxa+bxx1+cxx1|/(sqrt(a^2+b^2))`
`=>(2a+c)/sqrt(a^2+b^2)+(2bc)/sqrt(a^2+b^2)+(a+b+c)/sqrt(a^2+b^2)=0`
`=>2a+c+2b+c+a+b+c=0` `=>3a+3b+3c=0`
