Let and be vertices of a triangle If the centroid of this triangle moves on the line then the locus of the vertex is the line
- A
- B
- C
- D
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let the coordinates of vertex be .
The vertices are and
The centroid of triangle is:
.
It is given that the centroid moves on the line .
Substitute the coordinates of into the line equation:
.
Multiply by :
Replacing with gives the locus:
.
