The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the statements regarding the circumcenter of the triangle formed by the given lines. Let's go through the steps systematically. ### Step 1: Identify the Lines The lines given are: 1. \( x + y = 0 \) (Line 1) 2. \( x - y = 0 \) (Line 2) 3. \( x + 5 = 0 \) (Line 3) ### Step 2: Find the Points of Intersection To form a triangle, we need to find the points of intersection of these lines. 1. **Intersection of Line 1 and Line 2:** \[ x + y = 0 \quad \text{(1)} \] \[ x - y = 0 \quad \text{(2)} \] From (2), we have \( y = x \). Substituting into (1): \[ x + x = 0 \implies 2x = 0 \implies x = 0 \implies y = 0 \] So, the intersection point is \( (0, 0) \). 2. **Intersection of Line 1 and Line 3:** \[ x + y = 0 \quad \text{(1)} \] \[ x + 5 = 0 \quad \text{(3)} \] From (3), we have \( x = -5 \). Substituting into (1): \[ -5 + y = 0 \implies y = 5 \] So, the intersection point is \( (-5, 5) \). 3. **Intersection of Line 2 and Line 3:** \[ x - y = 0 \quad \text{(2)} \] \[ x + 5 = 0 \quad \text{(3)} \] From (3), we have \( x = -5 \). Substituting into (2): \[ -5 - y = 0 \implies y = -5 \] So, the intersection point is \( (-5, -5) \). ### Step 3: Identify the Vertices of the Triangle The vertices of the triangle formed by the lines are: 1. \( A(0, 0) \) 2. \( B(-5, 5) \) 3. \( C(-5, -5) \) ### Step 4: Determine the Circumcenter The circumcenter of a triangle is the point where the perpendicular bisectors of the sides intersect. In this case, since two of the lines are perpendicular (Line 1 and Line 2), the circumcenter will be located at the midpoint of the hypotenuse. 1. **Find the midpoint of side \( BC \):** \[ B(-5, 5) \quad C(-5, -5) \] Midpoint \( M \) is given by: \[ M = \left( \frac{-5 + (-5)}{2}, \frac{5 + (-5)}{2} \right) = \left( -5, 0 \right) \] ### Step 5: Analyze the Statements - **Statement 1:** The circumcenter of the triangle formed by the lines is \( (-5, 0) \). This is **true**. - **Statement 2:** The circumcenter of a triangle lies inside the triangle. In this case, the circumcenter \( (-5, 0) \) lies on the side of the triangle, not inside. This is **false**. ### Conclusion - **Final Answer:** Statement 1 is true, and Statement 2 is false. ---
