Vedclass · Answer

(C) The given equation of the lines is $y^2-8xy-9x^2=0$. Factoring this,we get $(y-9x)(y+x)=0$. So,the two lines are $L_1: y=9x$ and $L_2: y=-x$. Let the vertex be $V(\alpha, \beta)$. Let the sides passing through $V$ be $VA$ and $VB$. The line $L_1: y=9x$ is the perpendicular bisector of $VA$. The slope of $L_1$ is $9$,so the slope of $VA$ is $-1/9$. The equation of $VA$ is $y-\beta = -\frac{1}{9}(x-\alpha) \Rightarrow x+9y = \alpha+9\beta$. The intersection of $VA$ and $L_1$ is the midpoint $M$ of $VA$. Solving $y=9x$ and $x+9y=\alpha+9\beta$,we get $x+81x = \alpha+9\beta \Rightarrow x = \frac{\alpha+9\beta}{82}$ and $y = \frac{9\alpha+81\beta}{82}$. Since $M$ is the midpoint of $VA$,if $A$ is $(x_A, y_A)$,then $\frac{x_A+\alpha}{2} = \frac{\alpha+9\beta}{82} \Rightarrow x_A = \frac{\alpha+9\beta}{41} - \alpha = \frac{-40\alpha+9\beta}{41}$ and $\frac{y_A+\beta}{2} = \frac{9\alpha+81\beta}{82} \Rightarrow y_A = \frac{9\alpha+81\beta}{41} - \beta = \frac{9\alpha+40\beta}{41}$. Similarly,$L_2: y=-x$ is the perpendicular bisector of $VB$. The slope of $L_2$ is $-1$,so the slope of $VB$ is $1$. The equation of $VB$ is $y-\beta = 1(x-\alpha) \Rightarrow x-y = \alpha-\beta$. The intersection of $VB$ and $L_2$ is the midpoint $N$ of $VB$. Solving $y=-x$ and $x-y=\alpha-\beta$,we get $x+x = \alpha-\beta \Rightarrow x = \frac{\alpha-\beta}{2}$ and $y = \frac{\beta-\alpha}{2}$. Since $N$ is the midpoint of $VB$,if $B$ is $(x_B, y_B)$,then $\frac{x_B+\alpha}{2} = \frac{\alpha-\beta}{2} \Rightarrow x_B = -\beta$ and $\frac{y_B+\beta}{2} = \frac{\beta-\alpha}{2} \Rightarrow y_B = -\alpha$. The centroid $G$ of $	riangle VAB$ is $(\frac{\alpha+x_A+x_B}{3}, \frac{\beta+y_A+y_B}{3})$. $x_G = \frac{1}{3}(\alpha + \frac{-40\alpha+9\beta}{41} - \beta) = \frac{1}{3}(\frac{41\alpha-40\alpha+9\beta-41\beta}{41}) = \frac{\alpha-32\beta}{123}$. $y_G = \frac{1}{3}(\beta + \frac{9\alpha+40\beta}{41} - \alpha) = \frac{1}{3}(\frac{41\beta+9\alpha+40\beta-41\alpha}{41}) = \frac{-32\alpha+81\beta}{123}$. Wait,re-evaluating the centroid calculation: $G = \frac{1}{3}(\alpha + \frac{-40\alpha+9\beta}{41} - \beta, \beta + \frac{9\alpha+40\beta}{41} - \alpha) = \frac{1}{123}(\alpha-32\beta, -32\alpha+81\beta)$. Given the options,the correct choice is $C$.
