The orthocenter of a triangle formed by the lines X + Y = 1, 2 X + 3 Y =6 and 4 x -,4y+4=0 lies in the quadrant number?

Dear Student,

we are given with the three equations of lines of the triangle,

4x-7y=-10  -(1) line AC7x+4y=15  -(2) line ABx+y=5    -(3)  line BCsolving eqn 1 and 2 we get coordinates of point A(1,2)solving eqn 2 and 3 we get coordinates of point B(53,203)solving eqn 1 and 3 we get coordinates of point C(2511,3011)
slope of line BC= 
y=mx+cy=-x+5, hence m=-1

as we know the slope of perpendicular to line BC will be 
m1×m2=-1putting m1=-1m2=1                                                    

equation of perpendicular from A to line BC

y-y1=m(x-x1)y-2=1(x-1)y=x+1

similarly the slope of line AC


7y=4x+10y=47x+107slope =47

slope of perpendicular from B to AC 
-74equation of perpendicular from B to ACy-203=-74(x-53)21x+12y=115

solving both equations
y=x+121x+12y=115we get 1039,1129 as orthocentre
