Detailed Solution

Let the coordinates of the centroid G of the PQR are (h, k) and coordinates of P are (m, n).

 h=m+1+33 and  k=n+423

Question Image

m=3h4 and n=3k2

Now, P(m, n) lies on the line

2x3y+4=0  2m3n+4=0 2(3h4)3(3k2)+4=0 6h89k+6+4=06h9k+2=0

 Locus of (h, k) is 6x - 9y + 2 = 0

 So, slope of the above line is 2/3.
