The orthocentre of the triangle formed by lines $x+y+1=0 ; x-y-1=0$ and $3 x+4 y+5=0$ is

The orthocentre of the triangle formed by lines $x+y+1=0 ; x-y-1=0$ and $3 x+4 y+5=0$ is
  1. $(0,-1)$
  2. $(0,0)$
  3. $(1,1)$
  4. $(-1,0)$

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & x+y+1=0 ...(i)\\ & x-y-1=0 ....(ii)\\ & 3 x+4 y+5=0 ....(iii) \end{aligned}$
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) $(x, y)=(0,-1) \Rightarrow \text { Orthocentre }$
