Answer:
n any triangle, orthocentre, centroid, and circumcentre are collinear and centroid divides the line joining orthocentre and circumcenter in ratio 2:1
Let the orthocentre be (x,y)
Using the section formula, if a point
(x,y) divides the line joining the points (x
1
,y
1
) and
(x
2
,y
2
) in the ratio m:n, then (x,y)=(
m+n
mx
2
+nx
1
,
m+n
my
2
+ny
1
)
Substituting (x
1
,y
1
)=(x,y) and (x
2
,y
2
)=(6,2) and m=2,n=1 in the section formula, we get the centroid
=(
2+1
2(6)+1(x)
,
2+1
2(2)+1(y)
)=(
3
x+12
,
3
y+4
)
Given
centroid =(3,3)
=>(
3
x+12
,
3
y+4
)=(3,3)
=>
3
x+12
=3;
3
y+4
=3
x+12=9;y+4=9
x=−3;y=5
Hence, orthocentre =(−3,5)
