The sides AB and AC of ΔABC are respectively 2x + 3y = 29 and x + 2y = 16 . If the mid point of BC is (5,6) then the equation of BC is
1] x + y - 10 = 0
2] x + y - 11 = 0
3] x + y - 9 = 0
4] x + y - 12 = 0

SOLUTION ::
Let Co-ordinate of B & C is (h, k) & ( p, q) respectively
Since the mid point of BC is (5,6)
So
( h+p) / 2 = 5 & ( k+q) /2 = 6
So p = 10-h & q = 12 - k
So Co-ordinate of C is ( 10-h, 12-k)
Now B(h, k) is a point on AB : 2x + 3y = 29
So 2h + 3k = 29 - - - - - - - (1)
Also
C( 10-h, 12-k) is a point on AC : x + 2y = 16
So 10 - h + 24 - 2k = 16
h + 2k = 18 - - - - - - - - - - - (2)
Solving Equation (1) & (2) we get
h = 4 , k = 7
So Co-ordinate of B is ( 4, 7 )
Co-ordinate of C is ( 10-4, 12-7 ) = ( 6, 5)
SO Equation of the line BC is given by
( y - 7)/( x-4) = ( 5-7)/(6-4)
=> ( y - 7)/( x-4) = - 2/2
=> x - 4 = - y+7
=> x + y - 11 = 0
