Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \((-5 / 2,3 / 4)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The triangle formed with vertices \(A(0,0), B\left(0, \frac{3}{2}\right)\) and \(C(-5,0)\) is a right-angled triangle at \(A . \mathrm{So}_{,} B C\) is hypotenuse. So, orthocentre of \(\triangle A B C\) is mid-point of \(B C\). \(\therefore\) Orthocentre…
