If α ,   β is the orthocenter of the triangle A B C with vertices A 3 ,   – 7 ,…

If α, β is the orthocenter of the triangle ABC with vertices A3, 7, B1, 2 and C4, 5, then 9α-6β+60 is equal to
  1. 25
  2. 35
  3. 30
  4. 40

Solution

The required diagram will be: 

Equation of AD:y+7=-53x-3

3y+21=-5x+15

5x+3y+6=0 ......i

Equation of BE:y-2=-112x+1

12y-24=x-1

x=23-12y....(ii)

by ii 115-60y+3y+6=0

57y=121

y=12157, x=23-12×12157

 9α-6β+60=9×23-108×12157-6×12157+60

=207-242+60=25

Hence this is the required option.
