Problem |
|
|
2 |
Given |
Vertices of triangle are \$(1, 2), (2, 3)\$ and \$(4, 3)\$. |
|
3 |
Assume |
Let \$A(1,2), B(2, 3)\$ and \$C(4,3)\$. Let AD and BE be the altitudes. |
|
4 |
Step |
Slope of line joining points \$B(2, 3)\$ and \$C(4,3)\$ is |
\begin{align} \require{cancel} \text{Slpoe of BC } &= \frac{3 - 3}{4 - 2} \\ &= \frac{0}{2} \\ &= 0 \\ \end{align} |
5 |
Step |
Since AD is perpendicular to BC. The slope of the altitude AD = \$ - \frac{1}{0} = \infty\$ Equation of altitude AD is |
\begin{align} \require{cancel} && y - 2 &= - \frac{1}{0}(x – 1) \\ \Rightarrow && 0 &= -x + 1 \\ \Rightarrow && x &= 1 \tag{1}\\ \end{align} |
6 |
Step |
Slope of line joining points \$(1, 2)\$ and \$(4, 3)\$. |
\begin{align} \require{cancel} \text{Slpoe of AC } &= \frac{3 - 2}{4 - 1} \\ &= \frac{1}{3} \\ \end{align} |
7 |
Step |
BE is perpendicular to AC. The slope of the altitude BE \$= - \frac{3}{1} = - 3\$ Equation of BE is |
\begin{align} \require{cancel} y – 3 &= -3(x – 2) \\ y – 3 &= -3x + 6 \\ 3x + y &= 9 \tag{2} \\ \end{align} |
8 |
Step |
Solving equation (1) and (2) \$x = 1\$ and \$3x + y = 9\$, substitute \$x = 1\$ in(2),we get |
\begin{align} \require{cancel} 3(1) + y &= 9 \\ 3 + y &= 9 \\ y &= 6 \end{align} |
9 |
Step |
Answer |
The orthocentre is \$(1, 6)\$. |
