प्रश्न

O(0, 0), A(3, 5) and B(−5, −3) are the vertices of triangle OAB. Find the equation of median of triangle OAB through vertex O.

योग

उत्तर

Let the median through O meets AB at D.

So, D is the mid-point of AB.

Co-ordinates of point D are

`((3 - 5)/2, (5 - 3)/2) = (-1, 1)`

Slope of OD = `(1 - 0)/(-1 - 0) = -1`

(x1, y1) = (0, 0)

The equation of the median OD is

y – y1 = m(x – x1)

y − 0 = −1(x − 0)

x + y = 0
