Answer to Problem 3E
The coordinate of the orthocentre is,
Explanation of Solution
Given Data:
The given coordinates are
Calculation:
Consider the equation of the line AC is,
Then, the slope of the altitude is
Consider the equation of the line BC is,
Then, the slope of the altitude is
Then,
Then, the value of y is,
Thus, the coordinate of the orthocentre is,
Thus, the correct option is C.
