If x−2y+k = 0 is a median of the triangle whose vertices are at points A(− 1, 3), B(0, 4) and C(− 5, 2), then the value of k is

Answer»

The coordinates of the centroid G of △ABC are

\((\frac{-1+0-5}3,\frac{3+4+2}3)\) i.e., (-2, 3)

Since G lies on the median x - 2y + k + 0. So, coordinates of G satisfy its equation.

∴ -2 - 6 + k = 0

⇒ k = 8.
