What are the coordinates of the orthocenter of △jkl with vertices at j(−4, −1) , k(−4, 8) , and l(2, 8) ?

Answer-

The coordinates of the orthocenter of △JKL is (-4, 8)

Solution-

The orthocenter is the point where all three altitudes of the triangle intersect. An altitude is a line which passes through a vertex of the triangle and is perpendicular to the opposite side.

For a right angle triangle, the vertex at the right angle is the orthocentre of the triangle.

Here we are given the three vertices of the triangle are  J(-4,-1), K(-4,8) and L(2,8)

If the triangle JKL satisfies Pythagoras Theorem, then triangle JKL will be a right angle triangle.

Applying distance formula we get,

As,

Therefore, the vertex at K (-4, 8) is the orthocentre.

step-by-step explanation:

stew:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (2650-795)/(10-3)

    = 1855/7

connie:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

we have two points (0,0) and (4,800)

m = (800-0)/(4-0)

  m = 800/4
