उत्तर


Vertices of ΔABC are A(3, 4), B(2, 0) and C(1, 6)

Let D be the midpoint of side BC.

Then, AD is the median through A.

∴ D = `((2 + 1)/2, (0 + 6)/2) = (3/2, 3)`

The median AD passes through the points

A(3, 4) and `"D"(3/2, 3)`

∴ The equation of the median AD is

`(y - 4)/(3 - 4) = (x - 3)/(3/2 - 3)`

∴ `(y - 4)/(-1) = (x - 3)/(-3/2)`

∴ `3/2 (y - 4)` = x – 3

∴ 3y – 12 = 2x – 6

∴ 2x – 3y + 6 = 0
