Detailed Solution

Given base of an equilateral triangle is x+y2=0..(1)&
Opposite vertex is A(2, –1)We have to find
remaining sides AB & AC passing through A
let the equation of straight line passing through
A(2, –1) & slope ‘m’ is
y+1=mx2(2)
Since angle between (1) & (2) is 60°
tanθ=m1m21+m1m2 where 
m1= slope of (1);m2= slope of (2)m1=1,m2=mtan60=1m1+(1)(m)=3=m+11m3|1m|=|m+1|
S.O.B.S
31+m22m=m2+1+2m3+3m26mm212m=02m28m+2=0m24m+1=0m=4±1642=4±122=2±3
Sub in (2)
y+1=(2±3)(x2)
