The correct answer is:
We have,
Since, is an equilateral triangle and the point lies in the interior of
Therefore, lies on the perpendicular bisector of at a distance of from the mid-point of such that and are on the same side of
The equation of is
The coordinates of the mid-point of are
The slope of a line perpendicular to is
So, if it makes an angle with the -axis. Then,
and
The parametric form of the perpendicular bisectors of is
So, the coordinates of are given by
or,
Thus, the coordinates of are or
Clearly, and lie on the same side of Hence, the coordinates of are
