Detailed Solution

Let A ≡ (2, –1) and B ≡ (3, 2).
Let the third vertex be Cα,β
Then, α+β=5 (given)                                          (1)
Area of  ABC=122-11321αβ1=±4 (given)
β-3α=1                                                        (2)
or  β-3α=-15                                                   (3)
Solving (1) and (2), we get, α = 1, β = 4
Solving (1) and (3), we get, α = 5, β = 0
Thus, the third vertex is either (5, 0) or (1, 4).
