Solution
The correct option is A 2x+3y=9 Let (x,y) be the coordinates of the vertex C and (x1,y1) be the coordinates of the centroid of the triangle, therefore x1=x+2−23y1=y−3+13 or x1=x3 and y1=y−23 the centroid lies on the line 2x+3y=1.Sox1andy1 satisfy the equation of the line. Thus 2x1+3y1=1⇒2(x3)+2(y−23)=12x+3y=9 The above equation is the locus of the vertex C.
