The correct Answer is:
To find the coordinates of the circumcenter of the triangle formed by the lines \(x + y - 5 = 0\), \(x - y + 1 = 0\), and \(y - 1 = 0\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find the points of intersection of the lines. We need to find the vertices of the triangle by solving the equations of the lines pairwise. 1. **Intersection of \(x + y - 5 = 0\) and \(y - 1 = 0\)**: - Substitute \(y = 1\) into \(x + y - 5 = 0\): \[ x + 1 - 5 = 0 \implies x = 4 \] - So, the point is \(A(4, 1)\). 2. **Intersection of \(x - y + 1 = 0\) and \(y - 1 = 0\)**: - Substitute \(y = 1\) into \(x - y + 1 = 0\): \[ x - 1 + 1 = 0 \implies x = 0 \] - So, the point is \(B(0, 1)\). 3. **Intersection of \(x + y - 5 = 0\) and \(x - y + 1 = 0\)**: - We can solve these two equations simultaneously. From \(x - y + 1 = 0\), we have \(y = x + 1\). - Substitute \(y = x + 1\) into \(x + y - 5 = 0\): \[ x + (x + 1) - 5 = 0 \implies 2x - 4 = 0 \implies x = 2 \] - Then, substituting \(x = 2\) back to find \(y\): \[ y = 2 + 1 = 3 \] - So, the point is \(C(2, 3)\). ### Step 2: Identify the circumcenter. The circumcenter of a triangle can be found as the midpoint of the hypotenuse if the triangle is a right triangle. 1. **Identify the hypotenuse**: - The triangle formed by points \(A(4, 1)\), \(B(0, 1)\), and \(C(2, 3)\) has a right angle at point \(B\) since the lines \(AB\) and \(BC\) are perpendicular. ### Step 3: Calculate the midpoint of the hypotenuse \(AC\). The hypotenuse is the line segment connecting points \(A(4, 1)\) and \(C(2, 3)\). 1. **Midpoint formula**: \[ \text{Midpoint} = \left(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}\right) \] - For points \(A(4, 1)\) and \(C(2, 3)\): \[ \text{Midpoint} = \left(\frac{4 + 2}{2}, \frac{1 + 3}{2}\right) = \left(\frac{6}{2}, \frac{4}{2}\right) = (3, 2) \] ### Conclusion: The coordinates of the circumcenter of the triangle are \((3, 2)\). ---
