Let ABC be a triangle whose vertices, A(1,−1),B(0,2)Cx′,y′ such that area of △ABC is 5sq. and Cx′,y′ lie on 3x+y−4λ=0. Then, λ=
It is given that area of △ABC is 5 sq. units
∴ 121−11021x′y′1=±5⇒ 2−y′+0−x′+0−2x′=±10⇒ −3x′−y′+2=±10⇒ 3x′+y′−2=±10⇒ 3x′+y′−12=0 or 3x′+y′+8=0
Point Cx′,y′ lies on 3x+y−4λ=0. Therefore, λ=3
