Find the equation of the altitudes of the triangle whose vertices are `A(7,-1),B(-2,8)a n dC(1,2)dot`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given, `A(7,-1),B(-2,8)a n dC(1,2)dot` Let slope of` (BC)=(2−8)/(1+2)=(−6)/(3)=−2`
Since AD and BC are perpendicular so, slope of AD perpendicular to BC
`m_1xxm_2=-1`
