$ABC$ is isosceles with $AB = AC$.
$BC$ is parallel to x-axis.
$m_1, m_2$ are slopes of the medians from $B$ and $C$.
Then:
1
$m_1m_2 = -1$ 2
$m_1 + m_2 = 0$ 3
$m_1m_2 = 2$ 4
$(m_1 + m_2)^2 + 2m_1m_2 = 0$ Go to Discussion

Solution Let coordinates:
$B(-a, 0)$
$C(a, 0)$
$A(0, h)$
Median from $B$ goes to midpoint of $AC$: $(0, h/2)$
Slope: $m_1 = \dfrac{h/2 - 0}{0 - (-a)} = \dfrac{h}{2a}$
Median from $C$ goes to midpoint of $AB$: $(0, h/2)$
Slope: $m_2 = \dfrac{h/2 - 0}{0 - a} = -\dfrac{h}{2a}$
Thus:
$m_1 + m_2 = 0$

A line $L$ has intercepts $a$ and $b$ on the coordinate axes. When the axes are rotated through a given angle, keeping the origin fixed, the same line has intercepts $p$ and $q$. Which of the following is true?
1
$a^2+b^2=p^2+q^2$ 2
$\dfrac{1}{a^2}+\dfrac{1}{b^2}=\dfrac{1}{p^2}+\dfrac{1}{q^2}$ 3
$a^2+p^2=b^2+q^2$ 4
$\dfrac{1}{a^2}+\dfrac{1}{q^2}=\dfrac{1}{b^2}+\dfrac{1}{q^2}$ Go to Discussion

Solution Intercept form of line remains invariant under rotation in terms of reciprocal squares.
Answer: $\boxed{\dfrac{1}{a^2}+\dfrac{1}{b^2}=\dfrac{1}{p^2}+\dfrac{1}{q^2}}$

The point $(4,1)$ undergoes the following transformations successively:
(i) Reflection about the line $y=x$
(ii) Translation through a distance $2$ units along the positive $x$-axis
(iii) Rotation by an angle $\frac{\pi}{4}$ anticlockwise about the origin
The final position of the point is:
1
$$\left(\frac{-1}{\sqrt{2}},\ \frac{7}{\sqrt{2}}\right)$$ 2
$$\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}},\ \frac{7}{\sqrt{2}}\right)$$ 3
$$(-2,\ 7\sqrt{2})$$ 4
$$(\sqrt{2},\ 7\sqrt{2})$$ Go to Discussion

Solution Solution:
Step 1: Reflect (4,1) about y=x → (1,4)
Step 2: Translate 2 units in +x direction → (1+2, 4) = (3,4)
Step 3: Rotate (3,4) by π/4 anticlockwise:
New x = (3 - 4)/√2 = -1/√2
New y = (3 + 4)/√2 = 7/√2
Final point = $\left(\frac{-1}{\sqrt{2}}, \frac{7}{\sqrt{2}}\right)$

Solution Let vertex be $A(1,2)$.
Midpoints of sides through $A$ are:
$M_1(-1,1)$ and $M_2(2,3)$
Let other two vertices be $B(x_1,y_1)$ and $C(x_2,y_2)$.
Using midpoint formula:
$\left(\frac{1+x_1}{2},\frac{2+y_1}{2}\right)=(-1,1)$
$x_1=-3,\ y_1=0$
So, $B(-3,0)$
Similarly,
$\left(\frac{1+x_2}{2},\frac{2+y_2}{2}\right)=(2,3)$
$x_2=3,\ y_2=4$
So, $C(3,4)$
Area of triangle:
$\frac{1}{2}\left|x_1(y_2-y_3)+x_2(y_3-y_1)+x_3(y_1-y_2)\right|$
$=\frac{1}{2}|1(0-4)+(-3)(4-2)+3(2-0)|$
$=\frac{1}{2}|-4-6+6|$
$=\frac{1}{2}\times 4$
$=2$
