If `a , b ,c` are in harmonic progression, then the straight line `((x/a))_(y/b)+(l/c)=0` always passes through a fixed point. Find that point.

a,b,c are in HP. Then,
`(2)/(b) = (1)/(a) + (1)/(c)" "(1)`
The given line is
`(x)/(a) + (y)/(b) + (1)/(c) = 0" "(2)`
Subtracting (1) from (2), we get
`(1)/(a)(x-1) + (1)/(b)(y+2) =0`
Since `a ne 0 " and " b ne 0`, we get
x-1 =0 and y+2 = 20
or x =1 and y=-2
