Detailed Solution

Given points Q=(1, 4), R=(3, -2)

Let P(h, k) be third vertex which lies on the line 2x-3y+4=0

 2h-3k+4=0   -   (1)

Let G(x1, y1) be locus of centriod of le PQR

(x1, y1)=1+3+h3, 4-2+k3 x1=4+h3, y1=2+k3 3x1=4+h, 3y1=2+k h=3x1-4, k=3y1-2 from (1) 2(3x1-2)+4= 6x1-8-9y1+6+4=0 6x1-9y1+2=0    slope =-6-9=23

 Locus of ‘G’ is a line with slope 23
