 Find the vertexof the triangle by finding intersection points on three lines

 
Here simultaneous solution of x-3y =0  and 4x+3y=5  gives say vertex 'A'
 
simultaneous solutionx-3y =0  and 3x+y =0 gives vertex 'B'
 
and simultaneous solution 4x+3y=5 and 3x+y =0 gives 'C'
 
Now find the centroid by formula
 
Xc = (x1 + x2 + x 3 ) / 3
 
and Yc = (y1 + y2 +y3 ) / 3
 
Check whether (Xc, Yc) is a solution of 3x-4y  = 0, if yes then it passes the centroid else not.

A paradox is an argument that starts with apparently acceptable assumptions and leads by apparently valid deductions to an apparent contradiction. Since logic admits no contradictions, either the apparently acceptable assumptions are not acceptable, or the apparently valid
deductions are not valid, or the apparent contradiction is not a contradiction. A paradox moves us to reexamine the argument until we find out what is wrong.

Remember that the orthocentre of a right angled triangle is the vertex containing the right angle. Here u can see that the lines x=3y and y= - 3x are mutually perpendicular bcoz the product of their slopes is = (1/3).(-3) = -1 .

Therefore the three lines form a right angled triangle.

Both the lines, x=3y and y= -3x  pass through the origin and hence their intersection point is the origin. Therefore the orthocentre of the triangle formed by the given st. lines is the origin. Now , the st. line 3x-4y=0 or 3x=4y also passes through the origin and hence it passes through the orthocentre of the given triangle .

You may also keep it in mind that the circumcentre of a right angled triangle is the mid point of the hypotenuse .

Question is incomplete ....i guess ?

 Ques: the equation to the sides of a triangle are x-3y =0 ,, 4x+3y=5 and 3x+y =0. the line 3x-4y =? pases through..A)the incentrre b) the orthocentre c)the centroid d) the circumcentre 

 

Incentre :  Point where all the angle bisector intersect

Orthocentre: Point where all the altitude of the triangle intersect.

Circumcentre: Point where all the perpendicular bisector of the triangle intersect.

Centroid : The point where all the medians intersect ....

 

Three sides     x - 3y = 0       4x +3y = 5      3x + y = 0  

 

In this case  the two lines are perpendicular to each other....that is   3x + y = 0 and x-3y = 0 ...

 

Hence the triangle is a right angle triangle with  hypotenous   4x + 3y = 5

 

Now in question you have given the line to which we have to choose the option is

 3x-4y = K(i  suppose)

 

Now  3x-4y = K is perpendicular to  hypotenous .......since it is perpendicular ....so it can pass through  orthocentre.....or circumcentre....

 

Answer will depend on the value of  K....

 

How ? 

 

You will solve  x-3y = 0 and  3x +y = 0 ...i.e (0,0) ...if (0,0) satisfy the 3x - 4y = k then it will be orthocentre.....otherwise orthocentre is not the correct option...

 

Also ...if it will be circumcentre only if ...it passes through middle point of hypotenous.....

Hence K should be given in the question ..definately
