Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \((-8,8)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Here, point \(A\) is the intersection of line \(A B\) and \(A C\) so equation of line passing through \(A\). This line passes through the orthocentre \((0,0)\), then \(\begin{aligned} & -1-\lambda=0 \\ & \lambda=-1 \end{aligned}\) On substituting \(\lambda=-1\) in Eq. (i), we…
