Hence, Co-ordinates of P =  ,  =  , 

But, the co-ordinates of P are (1, –2).

 2x + 9 = 5 and 2y – 18 = –10
 2x = –4 and 2y = 8
 x = –2 and y=4
Hence, the co-ordinates of B are (–2, 4).

(ii) B, C and D have co-ordinates (–2, 3), (–1, 1) and (–2, 0) respectively.

3. A(–1, 3), B(4, 2) and C(3, –2)

(i) Co-ordinates of the centroid of ABC are given by A(–1, 3)

x= = =2
3 3
G
y1  y 2  y 3 32–2
y= = =1
3 3
So, the co-ordinates are G(2, 1). B(4, 2) C(3, –2)

(ii) Since the line through G is parallel to AC, the slope of the lines are the same.

 m = x – x = 3 – (–1) =

So, equation of the line passing through G(2, 1) and with slope is given by,

y – y1 = m(x – x1)
–5
 y–1 = (x –2)
4
 4y – 4 = –5x + 10
 5x + 4y = 14 is the required equation.
