but thank you!

Answer 17

your welc.

Answer 19

Hm, I may be able to help. But I'm not sure what your question exactly is. All I have for your problem is coordinates...

Answer 20

it says fid the orthocenter of triangle ABC

Answer 21

find*

Answer 22

well first find the slope of lines AB , BC and CA , do u know how to find slopes?

Answer 23

not really :(

Answer 24

ah well , If u have A(x1,y1) and B(x2,y2) as end points of line AB then slope is
m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Answer 25

now can u tell what is slope of AB in the given question?

Answer 26

so it would be (10,10) and (4,0) right ?

Answer 27

eh no slope is a number , well see in our question we have A (0,10) and B(4,10)
slope wud be = difference in y -coordinates / difference in x -coordinates
that is
slope = 10-10/4-0
=0
so Slope of AB is 0

Answer 28

idk the answer ... havent done this yet.. sorry >.<

Answer 29

now can u find slope of BC ?

Answer 30

ok? hang on let me see

Answer 31

-4??? don't think so but maybe

Answer 32

eh no , Well what are the y coordinates of C and B respectively?

Answer 33

b is 10 and c is 4

Answer 34

yea! now we will call the later one that is C's coordinate y2 and B's y1

Answer 35

now subtracting them will give us? 4-10 = -6 right? is that clear so far?

Answer 36

yes I understand

Answer 37

ok now what is difference of x -coordinates?

Answer 38

6 ?if I did it right

Answer 39

negative 6 , -2-4 = -6

Answer 40

oh ok

Answer 41

now divide these two

Answer 42

so "A" and "B" is =0
and "B"and "C" is =-6

Answer 43

Oh No! We found difference of x-coordinate = -6 and difference of y -coordinates = -6
to Find slope U have to divide difference of y coordiantes with difference in x coordinates, that will make our slope -6/-6 = 1

Answer 44

ok I understand

Answer 45

now in the same way equation of CA would be?

Answer 46

hold on please !!! the schools website is messing up again !!!!!

Answer 47

y=-6
x=2

Answer 48

yeap now divide em to get the slope!

Answer 49

ok?

Answer 50

that wud make it -3 , right?

Answer 51

yes

Answer 52

Ok so we have Slopes of all the three sides now! , And what is orthocentre? its the intersection of the altitudes! , so we gotta find the slopes of the altitudes

Answer 53

altitude is perpendicular to the line right? and if one line's slope is m1 , then its perpendicular's slope wud be -1/m1

Answer 54

so BC 's slope was m1 = 1 its perpendicular's slope wud be -1/m1 that is -1
similiarly CA's slope was m2 = -3 so its perpendicualr's slope wud be -1/m2 that is 1/3
Did u get it so far?

Answer 55

I quit !!!! I don't know this

Answer 56

i probably never will

Answer 57

Eh well O_O not with that attitude , how abt studying basics abt slopes?

Answer 58

i don't have a book !!! im homeschooled

Answer 62

if u not helping get the heck out thank!!!

Answer 63

I am not appreciating your tone. Code of Conduct says you should be respectful, after all, we don't have to try to help you. So do you want to try again? ._.

Answer 64

ok fine ... hi may u please help me ???

Answer 65

Of course. Do you know what an orthocenter is?

Answer 66

intersection of the altitudes

Answer 67

Do you know how to figure out what the altitude is?

Answer 68

not really
