  (a)  (-2, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The orthocenter is the point of concurrence of the altitudes of the triangle.

A plot of the triangle vertices shows the triangle to be acute. That means the orthocenter is inside. This eliminates choices B, C, D, which are all points outside the triangle.

__

Conveniently, side LM is horizontal. This means the orthocenter will have the x-coordinate of the vertical line through N, which is -2. Only one answer choice has an x-coordinate of -2:

  a (-2, 4)

false

step-by-step explanation:

false.   two legs of the trapezoid would be congruent, but the other two would not.   were all the legs congruent, then we'd have a square; were the 2 shorter sides congruent and the 2 longer sides also congruent, we'd have a rectangle.
