Question

If (4,0) and (1,1) are two vertices of a triangle of area 4 sq. units, then its third vertex lies on
  1. y=x
  2. 5x+y+12=0
  3. x+5y4=0
  4. x+5y+12=0

A
x+5y4=0
B
y=x
C
x+5y+12=0
D
5x+y+12=0
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Let the third vertex be (x,y). Then,
12∣ ∣xy1401111∣ ∣=±4
x+5y+4=±8
x+5y+12=0orx+5y4=0
Hence, the third vertex lies on x+5y+12=0 or x+5y4=0
