Three sides `A B ,A Ca n dC A` of triangle `A B C` are`5x-3y+2=0,x-3y-2=0a n dx+y-6=0` respectively. Find the equation of the altitude through the vertex `Adot`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given, `AB ,BC` and `CA` are ` 5x-3y+2=0,x-3y-2=0` and `x+y-6=0`
Solving `AB` and `AC` we get value of `x` and `y` as `2` and `4`
Again, slope of BC is :--
`x-3y-2=0`
`x-2=3y`
`y=x/3-2/3`
Slope`=1/3`,
...
