Answers (1)

\dpi{100} \boldsymbol{Answer\! :} x=3y

\boldsymbol{Hints\! :} Take\; the\; third\; point\; as\; (x,y)\; and\;\; use\; the\; f\! ormula\; o\! f\; area\; o\! f\; triangle\; and\; equate\; it\; with\; zero.

Given: (3,1) and (9,3)

Explanation: Vertices are (3,1) and (9,3)
                        Let\; the\; third\; point\; be\; (x,y)

Determinant= \Delta =0

\Delta =\frac{1}{2}\begin{vmatrix} X_{1} &Y_{1} &1 \\ X_{2} &Y_{2} &1 \\ X_{3} &Y_{3} &1 \end{vmatrix}=0

    \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}\begin{vmatrix} x &y &1 \\ 3 &1 &1 \\ 9 &3 &1 \end{vmatrix}=0

    \Rightarrow x\left|\begin{array}{ll} 1 & 1 \\ 3 & 1 \end{array}\right|-y\left|\begin{array}{cc} 3 & 1 \\ 9 & 1 \end{array}\right|+1\left|\begin{array}{cc} 3 & 1 \\ 9 & 3 \end{array}\right|=0

    \Rightarrow x(1-3)-y(3-9)+1(9-9)=0

    \Rightarrow -2x+6y=0

    \Rightarrow -x+3y=0

    \Rightarrow x=3y
