The orthocentre of the triangle formed by lines $x+y+1=0 ; x-y-1=0$ and $3 x+4 y+5=0$ is
- $(0,-1)$
- $(0,0)$
- $(1,1)$
- $(-1,0)$
Solution
Slope of (i) is -1 Slope of (ii) is 1 $\therefore$ Triangle is right angled triangle and orthocentre of right angled triangle is the vertex where triangle has right angle. Solving (i) and (ii) $(x, y)=(0,-1) \Rightarrow \text { Orthocentre }$
