The orthocentre of the triangle formed by lines x+y+1=0 ; x-y-1=0 and 3 x+4 y+5=0 is
Options
- A(0,-1)
- B(0,0)
- C(1,1)
- D(-1,0)
Correct answer
A. (0,-1)
Step-by-step solution
aligned & x+y+1=0 ...(i) & x-y-1=0 ....(ii) & 3 x+4 y+5=0 ....(iii) aligned Slope of (i) is -1 Slope of (ii) is 1 Triangle is right angled triangle and orthocentre of right angled triangle is the vertex where triangle has right angle. Solving (i) and (ii) (x, y)=(0,-1) Orthocentre
