The altitude form the vertices A, B and...

The altitude form the vertices A, B and C of the triangle ABC meet its circumcircle at D,E and F, respectively . The complex number representing the points D,E, and F are `z_(1),z_(2)` and `z_(3)`, respectively. If `(z_(3) -z_(1))//(z_(2) -z_(1))` is purely real, then show that triangle ABC is right-angled at A.

To solve the problem, we need to show that if \(\frac{z_3 - z_1}{z_2 - z_1}\) is purely real, then triangle \(ABC\) is right-angled at \(A\). Here are the steps to arrive at the solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Geometry We have triangle \(ABC\) with altitudes from vertices \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\) meeting the circumcircle at points \(D\), \(E\), and \(F\) respectively. The complex numbers representing these points are \(z_1\), \(z_2\), and \(z_3\). ### Step 2: Set Up the Condition We are given that: \[ ...
