The equations of two sides of a triangle...

The equations of two sides of a triangle are `3y-x-2=0a n dy+x-2=0.` The third side, which is variable, always passes through the point `(5,-1)` . Find the range of the values of the slope of the third side, so that the origin is an interior point of the triangle.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We have two sides of triangle as 3x-x-2=0 and y+x-2=0.
The third side is passing through the point A(5,-1).
Different lines through point A are drawn as shown in the following figure.

Line `L_(2)` through A is parallel to the line x-3y+2=0, which has slope 1/3.
In this case, triangle is not formed.
Line `L_(1)` through A goes through origin, which has slope -1/5.
In this case triangle is formed but origin lies on the side of the triangle.
Line `L_(3)` through A is such that triangle is formed and origin lies inside the triangle.
Thus, required values of slope of line are (-1/5,1/3).
