If `(x_i,y_i),i=1,2,3` are the vertices of an equilateral triangle such that `(x_1+2)^2+(y_1-3)^2=(x_2+2)^2+(y_2-3)^2=(x_3+2)^2+(y_3-3)^2`, then find the value of `(x_1+x_2+x_3)/(y_1+y_2+y_3)`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given condition and find the required value step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the given condition We are given that the vertices of an equilateral triangle are \((x_1, y_1)\), \((x_2, y_2)\), and \((x_3, y_3)\) such that: \[ (x_1 + 2)^2 + (y_1 - 3)^2 = (x_2 + 2)^2 + (y_2 - 3)^2 = (x_3 + 2)^2 + (y_3 - 3)^2 \] This means that the distances from the point \((-2, 3)\) to each of the triangle's vertices are equal. ### Step 2: Identify the center of the triangle The point \((-2, 3)\) acts as the circumcenter of the equilateral triangle. In an equilateral triangle, the circumcenter coincides with the centroid. ### Step 3: Use the properties of the centroid The centroid \((G)\) of a triangle with vertices \((x_1, y_1)\), \((x_2, y_2)\), and \((x_3, y_3)\) is given by: \[ G = \left( \frac{x_1 + x_2 + x_3}{3}, \frac{y_1 + y_2 + y_3}{3} \right) \] Since the circumcenter and centroid coincide, we have: \[ \frac{x_1 + x_2 + x_3}{3} = -2 \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{y_1 + y_2 + y_3}{3} = 3 \] ### Step 4: Solve for \(x_1 + x_2 + x_3\) and \(y_1 + y_2 + y_3\) From the equations above, we can multiply both sides by 3 to find: \[ x_1 + x_2 + x_3 = -6 \quad \text{and} \quad y_1 + y_2 + y_3 = 9 \] ### Step 5: Calculate the required ratio Now we need to find the value of: \[ \frac{x_1 + x_2 + x_3}{y_1 + y_2 + y_3} \] Substituting the values we found: \[ \frac{x_1 + x_2 + x_3}{y_1 + y_2 + y_3} = \frac{-6}{9} = -\frac{2}{3} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of \(\frac{x_1 + x_2 + x_3}{y_1 + y_2 + y_3}\) is: \[ \boxed{-\frac{2}{3}} \]

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given condition and find the required value step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the given condition We are given that the vertices of an equilateral triangle are \((x_1, y_1)\), \((x_2, y_2)\), and \((x_3, y_3)\) such that: \[ (x_1 + 2)^2 + (y_1 - 3)^2 = (x_2 + 2)^2 + (y_2 - 3)^2 = (x_3 + 2)^2 + (y_3 - 3)^2 \] This means that the distances from the point \((-2, 3)\) to each of the triangle's vertices are equal. ...
