Two vertices of a triangle are \((5,-1)\) and \((-2,3)\). If the origin is the orthocentre of this triangle, then the coordinates of the third vertex of that triangle are

  1. A (4, 7)
  2. B \(\left(-2, \frac{-7}{2}\right)\)
  3. C \((-4,-7)\)
  4. D \((-2,3)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \((-4,-7)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Slope of \(B C \times\) slope of \(A D=-1\) \(\Rightarrow \quad \frac{3+1}{-2-5} \times \frac{k}{h}=-1 \Rightarrow \frac{k}{h} \times \frac{4}{-7}=-1\) Slope of \(A B \times\) slope of \(C F=-1\)…
