Question

Two vertices of a triangle are (–1, 4) and (5, 2). If its centroid is (0, –3), find the third vertex.

Solution

Correct option is

(–4, –15)

Let the third vertex be (xy) then the co – ordinates of the centroid of triangle are

                      

or          = – 4 and = – 15

Hence the third vertex is (–4, –15).
