find the coordinates of the orthocenter of the triangle formed by the straight lines x+y-1=0, x+2y-4=0, x+3y-9=0
let ABC be the triangle formed by the given lines.

ortho-center of any triangle is the intersection point of the altitudes.
let the coordinates of the ortho-centre be O(h,k).
the coordinates of the point B are the intersection of line AB and BC.
the coordinates of B are (-3,4).
the coordinates of the point C are the intersection of the line AC and BC.
since
slope of OB * slope of AC = -1
similarly
slope of OC * slope of AB = -1
solving eq(1) and eq(2):
hope this helps you
