The orthocentre of the triangle with vertices 
is
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
: Let 
be a triangle whose vertices are 
Then slope of 
Slope of 
So, the equation of the line through 
perpendicular to 
is
(i)
and the equation of a line through 
perpendicular to 
is 
(ii)
The point of intersection of (i) and (ii) is orthocentre which is 
.
Therefore, 
is the orthocentre of a triangle.
