Consider the triangle 
where 
, 
. If the orthocentre of a triangle is 
then coordinate of 
is
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
We know that Orthocentre is concurrency of altitudes and line joining Orthocentre to vertex is perpendicular to the opposite side.
Let 
Where 
and 
are slopes of lines 
and 
, which are perpendicular to each other.
Slope of 
Since 
and 
are mutually perpendicular it implies that 
. Putting 
in (1) we get 
. Thus orthocentre is 
Hence is the correct answer.
