I've never worked with the concept "orthocenter" before, but have done an Internet search. You might want to look at these results: http://www.mathsisfun.com/definitions/orthocenter.html @shay17, would you please show me how you got to the point where you think the orthocenter is (-1, 0)?

anonymous · Answer

because that's the coordinate in which each point meet and i also plugged in -1 for x in y=x+1 and got y=0 and x=-1

anonymous · Answer

so that's why i think the answer is (-1,0) and it's one of my multiple choices
