Does anyone have a clue how to find the orthocenter of a triangle if you are given three points? I have somewhat of a grasp on the idea but I just need someone to walk through it with me. Here is the problem:

ABC has vertices A (0,6), B (4,6), and C (1,3). Sketch a graph of ABC and use it to find the orthocenter of ABC. Then list the steps you took to find the orthocenter, including any necessary points or slopes you had to derive.

I really appreciate all the help on this and the best correct answer will get a medal and fan!
