Question

All the points lying inside the triangle formed by the points $(1,3),(5,6)$, and $( - 1,2)$ satisfy:

Options

A.$3x + 2y \geq 0$
B.$2x + y + 1 \geq 0$
C.$- 2x + 11 \geq 0$
D.$2x + 3y - 12 \geq 0$

Solution

Sol. [Key Concept: A point is interior iff it has the same sign as the centroid in each edge expression.]

✔ (a) $3x + 2y \geq \ 0$ holds for all interior points.

✔ (b) $2x + y + 1 \geq \ 0$ holds throughout the triangle.

✔ (c) $- 2x + 11 \geq \ 0$ holds throughout the triangle.

✘ (d) $2x + 3y - 12 \geq \ 0$ fails for interior points (wrong sign).
