Two vertices of a triangle are (0,2)\left(0, 2\right) and \left(4, 3\right) . If its orthocenter is at the origin, then its third vertex lies in which quadrant?Two vertices of a triangle are (0, 2) and (4, 3) . If its orthocenter is at the origin, then its third vertex lies in

Options

  1. AFourth
  2. BSecond
  3. CThird
  4. DFirst

Correct answer

B. Second

Step-by-step solution

Let the third vertex be (h,k)\left(h, k\right).

Two vertices of a triangle are (0, 2) and (4, 3) . If its orthocenter is at the origin, then its third vertex lies in

Since HH is orthocenter of δABC\delta ABC

Since the slope of BHBH is 34\dfrac{3}{4} hence the slope of ACAC will be −43- \dfrac{4}{3}

⇒⇒ Equation of line ACAC is
