Correct Answer

(A) \((0,-1)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & x+y+1=0 ...(i)\\ & x-y-1=0 ....(ii)\\ & 3 x+4 y+5=0 ....(iii) \end{aligned}\) Slope of (i) is -1 Slope of (ii) is 1 \(\therefore\) Triangle is right angled triangle and orthocentre of right angled triangle is the vertex where triangle has right angle. Solving…
