Step-by-step solution

Consider a triangle Δ whose two sides lie on the x -axis and the line x + y + 1 = 0 . If the orthocenter of Δ is ( 1, 1 Let Aisthepointofintersectionofthegivenlinesis the point of intersection of the given linesy = 0, x + y + 1 = 0TheirpointofintersectionATheir point of intersection A is (−1,0)\left(- 1, 0\right) Let BB is the other point on the line x+y+1=0x + y + 1 = 0, Now, the perpendicular from BB on the xx-axis will pass through the orthocenter. So, the equation of perpendicular from BB on the xx-axis is x=1x = 1 Thus, the coordinates of BB are (1,−2)\left(1, - 2\right) Let the third vertex is (h,k)\left(h, k\right) Slope of the line perpendicular to x+y+1=0x + y + 1 = 0 is 11 So, the perpendicular from (h,k)\left(h, k\right) to line x+y+1=0x + y + 1 = 0 has slope 11 and passes through the orthocenter (1,1)\left(1, 1\right) Thus, its equation is y=xy = x Now, y=xandxy = x and x-axis intersects at the origin. Hence, the vertices of the triangle are (−1,0),(1,−2) and  ( - 1, 0 ) , ( 1, - 2 ) \text{\text{ and } } ( 0, 0 ) Let the equation of the circle is x2+y2+2gx+2fy=0(0,0)→c=0(−1,0)→1−2g=0⇒g=12(1,−2)→5+1−4f=0⇒f=32{x}^{2} + {y}^{2} + 2gx + 2fy = 0 ( 0, 0 ) \to c = 0 ( - 1, 0 ) \to 1 - 2g = 0 ⇒ g = \dfrac{1}{2} ( 1, - 2 ) \to 5 + 1 - 4f = 0 ⇒ f = \dfrac{3}{2} Hence, the equation of the circumcircle is x2+y2+x+3y=0{x}^{2} + {y}^{2} + x + 3y = 0. Aliter We know, the image of the orthocentre about the sides of a triangle lies on circumcircle. The image of (1,1)( 1, 1 ) about y=0y = 0 is (1,−1)( 1, - 1 ) The image of (1,1)\left(1, 1\right) about x+y+1=0x + y + 1 = 0 is (−2,−2)( - 2, - 2 ) & intersection of y=0,x+y+1=0y = 0, x + y + 1 = 0 is (−1,0).( - 1, 0 ) . Let the equation of circle is x2+y2+2gx+2fy+c=0{x}^{2} + {y}^{2} + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0 All the three points (1,−1),(−2,−2) and  ( 1, - 1 ) , \left(- 2, - 2\right) \text{\text{ and } } \left(- 1, 0\right)liesonthiscirclelies on this circle( 1, - 1 ) \to 2 + 2g - 2f + c = 0 . . . \left(i\right) ( - 1, 0 ) \to 1 - 2g + c = 0 . . . \left(ii\right)(−2,−2)→8−4g−4f+c=0...( - 2, - 2 ) \to 8 - 4g - 4f + c = 0 . . .\left(iii\right)ByusingtheequationsBy using the equations\left(i\right),,\left(ii\right)\text{and } \left(iii\right), we get g=12,g = \dfrac{1}{2},f = 32,c=0\dfrac{3}{2}, c = 0 Hence, the equation of the circle is x2+y2+x+3y=0{x}^{2} + {y}^{2} + x + 3y = 0
