QUESTION
find the circumcenter of the triangle whose sides are given by x+y+2=0,5x-y-2=0 and x-2y+5=0
ANSWER
let ABC be the triangle.
side AB=x+y+2=0
BC=5x-y-2=0
CA=x-2y+5=0
solve x+y+2=0 and x-2y+5=0
you get x=-3, y=1 these are the coordinate of A
Similarly find coordinates of B=0,-2and C=1,3
let the coordinate of circumcentre P be x,y
PA=PB
(x+3)^2 + (y-1)^2=(x-0)^2 + (y+2)^2
simplify
x-y+1=0
similarly equate PB=PC
you will get similar equation
solve these two equations you will get values of x and y
