Answer:
all side of the equilateral triangle is the same, so,
(x−3)
2
+(y−4)

=
(x+2)
2
+(y−3)

+4x−6y+11
10x+3y=12 ----------------(3)
-----------------------------------
In equation (1) & (2) RHS is equal , therefore ;
6x+8y+1=−4x+6y+15
10x+2y=14--------------(4)

Solving equation (3) & (4)
y=−2
x=18
==============================
Hence the third vertex of the triangle is (−2,18)
