R(x,y) lies on 9x+7y+4=0

If x-cordinate is ‘a’ , Ra, (4+9a)7,aR

If (h,k) is the centroid 

(h,k)=2+4+a3, 5-11+(-4-9a)73

 

h=2+4+a3=6+a3 ----------- (1)

k=511(4+9a)73=469a7×3 -------------(2)

 

From (1) and (2) eliminating 'a'  we get

3h6=(21k46)9

27h+21k54+46=0

Hence, the locus is 9x+7y83=0 . This line is parallel to N.
