The circumcentre of a triangle lies at the origin and its centroid is the midpoint of the line segment…
Solution
The mid-point of a line segment joining the points and is
Given, the centroid is the mid-point of the line segment joining the points and , thus
Also, given circumcentre is origin
We know that, for a triangle circumcentre, orthocentre and centroid are collinear.
Thus, and orthocentre are collinear.
Again, we know that the equation of a line passing through the points and is
Thus, the orthocentre lies on the line joining the points and and its equation, is
