Options

  1. A(6,4)(6,4)
  2. B(−3,3)(-3,3)
  3. C(−8,8)(-8,8)
  4. D(0,7)(0,7)

Correct answer

C. (−8,8)(-8,8)

Step-by-step solution

Here, point AA is the intersection of line ABA B and ACA C so equation of line passing through AA. (x+2y−1)+λ(2x+3y−1)=0(x+2 y-1)+\lambda(2 x+3 y-1)=0.....(i) This line passes through the orthocentre (0,0)(0,0), then −1−λ=0⇒λ=−1-1-\lambda=0\Rightarrow \lambda=-1 On substituting λ=−1\lambda=-1 in Eq. (i)(i), we get x+y=0astheequationofx+y= 0 as the equation ofA D.Since.
