Let A B C be a triangle with A ( - 3 , 1 ) and ∠ A C B = θ , 0 < θ < π 2 . If…

Let ABC be a triangle with A(-3,1) and ACB=θ,0<θ<π2. If the equation of the median through B is 2x+y-3=0 and the equation of angle bisector of C is 7x-4y-1=0, then tanθ is equal to:
  1. 34
  2. 43
  3. 2
  4. 12

Solution

Let, x-coordinate of the point C is α, So coordinate of the point   Cα,7α-14  (C lies on 7x-4y-1=0)

 Hence, mid point of AC is mα-32,7α+38

As, point m lies on the line 2x+y-3=0, Substituting, we get α=3.

So. C(3,5)

Hence, slope of AC is 23 and slope of 7x-4y-1=0 is74

tanθ2=74-231+74×23=12

tanθ=2·121-14=43tanθ=43
