The orthocentre of the triangle with vertices A (1 , 3), B(2 , -1) and C ( 0 , -3) |
|
Answer» Solution :- GIVEN that, the vertices of the triangle are :-
Let us assume that,
so, → Slope of AB = (y2 - y1) / (X2 - x1) = (-1 - 3) / (2 - 1) = (-4)/1 = (-4) then, → Slope of CF = Perpendicular slope of AB → Slope of CF = (-1) / Slope of AB → Slope of CF = (-1) / (-4) → Slope of CF = (1/4) . now, Equation of CF :- → y - y1 = m(x - x1) → y + 3 = (1/4)(x - 0) → 4y + 12 = x → x - 4y = 12 ----------------- EQN.(1) Similarly, → Slope of BC = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (-3 + 1) / (0 - 2) = (-2)/(-2) = 1 then, → Slope of AD = Perpendicular slope of BC → Slope of AD = (-1) / Slope of BC → Slope of AD = (-1) / 1 → Slope of AD = (-1) . now, Equation of AD :- → y - y1 = m(x - x1) → y - 3 = (-1)(x - 1) → y - 3 = -x + 1 → x + y = 4 ----------------- Eqn.(2) Subtracting Eqn.(2) from Eqn.(1) we GET, → (x - 4y) - (x + y) = 12 - 4 → x - x - 4y - y = 8 → (-5y) = 8 → y = (-8/5) putting value of y in Eqn.(2) , → x - (8/5) = 4 → x = 4 + (8/5) → x = (28/5) therefore, the orthocentre of the triangle are (28/5 , -8/5) .
