The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the incentre of the equilateral triangle formed by the lines given in the question. Let's go through the steps systematically. ### Step 1: Identify the lines We have the family of lines given by: \[ (2 + \lambda)x + (1 + 2\lambda)y - 3(1 + \lambda) = 0 \] and the line: \[ x + y = 0 \] ### Step 2: Rewrite the family of lines Let's rewrite the family of lines in a more manageable form. We can express it as: \[ (2 + \lambda)x + (1 + 2\lambda)y = 3(1 + \lambda) \] This represents a family of lines depending on the parameter \(\lambda\). ### Step 3: Find the intersection point We need to find the intersection point of the two lines. The second line can be rewritten as: \[ y = -x \] Substituting \(y = -x\) into the family of lines: \[ (2 + \lambda)x + (1 + 2\lambda)(-x) = 3(1 + \lambda) \] This simplifies to: \[ (2 + \lambda - 1 - 2\lambda)x = 3(1 + \lambda) \] \[ (1 - \lambda)x = 3(1 + \lambda) \] From here, we can solve for \(x\): \[ x = \frac{3(1 + \lambda)}{1 - \lambda} \] Substituting back to find \(y\): \[ y = -\frac{3(1 + \lambda)}{1 - \lambda} \] ### Step 4: Find the coordinates of the intersection point The intersection point \(A\) can be represented as: \[ A\left(\frac{3(1 + \lambda)}{1 - \lambda}, -\frac{3(1 + \lambda)}{1 - \lambda}\right) \] ### Step 5: Find the other two points of the triangle To form an equilateral triangle, we need to find two more lines from the family that intersect with the line \(x + y = 0\). We can choose specific values of \(\lambda\) to find these lines. Let’s take \(\lambda = 0\) and \(\lambda = 1\): 1. For \(\lambda = 0\): \[ 2x + y - 3 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad y = -2x + 3 \] 2. For \(\lambda = 1\): \[ 3x + 3y - 12 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad y = -x + 4 \] ### Step 6: Find the intersection points of these lines with \(x + y = 0\) 1. For \(y = -2x + 3\): \[ -2x + 3 + x = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad -x + 3 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = 3, y = -3 \] So, point \(B(3, -3)\). 2. For \(y = -x + 4\): \[ -x + 4 + x = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 4 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = 4, y = -4 \] So, point \(C(4, -4)\). ### Step 7: Find the incentre of triangle ABC In an equilateral triangle, the incentre coincides with the centroid. The centroid \(G\) of triangle \(ABC\) is given by: \[ G\left(\frac{x_1 + x_2 + x_3}{3}, \frac{y_1 + y_2 + y_3}{3}\right) \] Substituting the points \(A(1, 1)\), \(B(3, -3)\), and \(C(4, -4)\): \[ G\left(\frac{1 + 3 + 4}{3}, \frac{1 - 3 - 4}{3}\right) = G\left(\frac{8}{3}, \frac{-6}{3}\right) = G\left(\frac{8}{3}, -2\right) \] ### Final Answer The incentre of the triangle formed by the lines is: \[ \text{Incentre} = \left(\frac{8}{3}, -2\right) \]

To solve the problem, we need to find the incentre of the equilateral triangle formed by the lines given in the question. Let's go through the steps systematically. ### Step 1: Identify the lines We have the family of lines given by: \[ (2 + \lambda)x + (1 + 2\lambda)y - 3(1 + \lambda) = 0 \] and the line: ...
