- A(5/3, 1)
- B(2, 1)
- C(1, 3)
- D(1, 1)
Step-by-Step Solution
The orthocentre is where the altitudes meet. AB lies along the -axis, so the altitude from C is the vertical line . The side BC has slope , so the altitude from A has slope 1 and is the line . The two meet at (1, 1), and the third altitude confirms it: AC has slope 3, so the altitude from B is , which passes through (1, 1). The trap (5/3, 1) is the CENTROID, the average of the vertices, and (2, 1) is the CIRCUMCENTRE, found from the perpendicular bisectors. As a check the three lie on one Euler line with the centroid dividing the join of circumcentre and orthocentre in the ratio 1 : 2. The point (1, 3) is just the vertex C.
Answer: D) (1, 1)
