2x+y=0(1)xy=0(2)x+py=21a(3) solving (1) \& (2) A(1,2)
Question Image
centriod of triangle ABC is 
4+s+t3,22s+t3=(2,a)s+t=2(4)2s+t=3a+2(5
Solving (4) 7 95) we get

s=a,t=2+aB(a,2a);C(a+5,a+2)B,C lies on x+py=21aa+2ap=21aP=11 and pa+2p=20a5
If p = 11
27=9aa=3B(3,6),C(8,5),(BC)2=(8+3)2+(56)2 Distance (BC)2=122
