let PS be the median of the triangle with vertices P(2,2),Q(6,-1)and R(7,3).the equation of the line passing through (1,-1) and parallel to PS is

Question

Rinkoo Gupta · Answer

coordinate of S=(13/2,1)

slope of ps=(1-2)/13/2 -2)=(-1)/(9/2)=-2/9

Eq. of the line passing through (-1,1) and parallel to PS is

y-1=(-2/9)(x+1)

9(y-1)=-2x-2

9y-9+2x+2=0

2x+9y-7=0
