Consider a triangle whose two sides lie on the -axis and the line . If the orthocenter of is , then the equation of the circle passing through the vertices of the triangle is
- A
- B
- C
- D
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Let is the point of intersection of the given lines
Their point of intersection is
Let is the other point on the line ,
Now, the perpendicular from on the -axis will pass through the orthocenter.
So, the equation of perpendicular from on the -axis is
Thus, the coordinates of are
Let the third vertex is
Slope of the line perpendicular to is
So, the perpendicular from to line has slope and passes through the orthocenter
Thus, its equation is
Now, and -axis intersects at the origin.
Hence, the vertices of the triangle are
Let the equation of the circle is
Hence, the equation of the circumcircle is .
Aliter
We know, the image of the orthocentre about the sides of a triangle lies on circumcircle.
The image of about is
The image of about is
& intersection of is
Let the equation of circle is
All the three points lies on this circle
By using the equations , we get
Hence, the equation of the circle is
