Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

Let ABC be the triangle with vertices A(2,−2),B(1,1) and C(−1,0)&AD be the altitude of △ABC drawn from A.

Let m

1

&m

2

be the slope of line AD and BC respectively.

Now, AD⊥BC

∴m

×m

=−1

⇒m

⟶(i)

Slope of line BC-

∴ Slope of BC joining B(1,1)&C(−1,0)=

On substituting the value of m

in eq

(i), we get

m

=−2

The equation of line passing through the point (x

,y

) with slope m is-

y−y

=m(x−x

)

∴ Equation of altitude AD passing through A(2,−2) with slope 2 is-

y−(−2)=−2×(x−2)

⇒y+2=−2x+4

⇒y=−2x+2
