can you help?
OpenStudy (aum):
Find the intersection of the two altitudes and that will be the orthocenter.
OpenStudy (mathstudent55):
What is the definition of the orthocenter of a triangle?

@aum I couldn't have said it any better myself
OpenStudy (anonymous):
three altitudes intersect in a single point, called the orthocenter of the triangle. The orthocenter lies inside the triangle if and only if the triangle is acute
OpenStudy (aum):
You can read the point of intersection off the graph or you can solve for it from the two equations.
OpenStudy (mathstudent55):
Good.
All altitudes intersect at the same point.
You have two altitudes drawn and shown intersecting at a point.
That point must be the orthocenter.
Just read the point.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
0,-1 ?

you have switched the x and y.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so -1,0?
OpenStudy (aum):
Yes. But put a parenthesis around it.

Thank you!!
