Correct answer: C
- Find vertex from the intersection of the given sides
The sides and are:
Solve simultaneously.
From the first equation,
Substitute into the second:
Then,
So,
- Use the section formula on side
Given that the point divides side internally in the ratio .
So if then or equivalently, since ,
But here lies on line , lies on line , and form a triangle.
A simpler way: since divides in the ratio , we can express So,
Let us write points and on the two given lines through .
- Parametrize points on and
Line has slope , so a direction vector is . Hence any point on can be written as
Line has slope , so a direction vector is . Hence any point on can be written as
Now use
So,
Substitute and :
Equate coordinates:
Thus,
From (1),
Substitute into (2):
Then,
So,
- Find equation of line through and
Slope of is
Using point-slope form through :
Multiply by :
- Match with the options
The equation is which is Option C.
- Comparison with stored correct answer
Stored correct answer: C
Our derived answer: C
So the derived answer agrees with the stored correct answer.
