Question

In an equilateral triangle A B C , equation of the side B C is x + y - 2 = 0 and the centroid of Δ A B C is 0 , 0 . If points A , B and C are in anticlockwise order, then the equation of side A C is, y + 2 = 2 - 3 x + 2, y + 2 = 2 + 3 x + 2, y + 1 = 2 + 3 x + 1, x + 2 = 0

Foot of 0,0 on line B C is D 1,1 Because 0,0 divides A D internally in the ratio 2 : 1 Hence, by using section formula A ≡ - 2 , - 2 Slope of A C is tan ⁡ 45 ° + 30 ° = 2 + 3 Equation of A C is y + 2 = 2 + 3 x + 2
