Vedclass · Answer

(A) Given that $a, b$ and $c$ are in $AP$. Therefore,$2b = a + c$ or $c = 2b - a$. The equation of the straight line is $ax + 2by + c = 0$. Substituting the value of $c$,we get $ax + 2by + (2b - a) = 0$. Rearranging the terms,we have $a(x - 1) + 2b(y + 1) = 0$. For this line to pass through a fixed point for all values of $a$ and $b$,the coefficients must be zero independently. Thus,$x - 1 = 0 \Rightarrow x = 1$ and $y + 1 = 0 \Rightarrow y = -1$. Hence,the fixed point is $(1, -1)$.

If $a, b$ and $c$ are in $AP$,then the straight line $ax + 2by + c = 0$ will always pass through a fixed point whose coordinates are
