The correct Answer is:
To find the radical center of the circles drawn on the sides of a triangle formed by the given lines, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find the points of intersection of the lines We need to find the vertices of the triangle formed by the lines: 1. \(3x - 4y + 6 = 0\) 2. \(x - y + 2 = 0\) 3. \(4x + 3y - 17 = 0\) #### Intersection of Line 1 and Line 2: To find the intersection of the first two lines, we can solve them simultaneously. From Line 2: \[ x - y + 2 = 0 \implies x = y - 2 \] Substituting \(x\) in Line 1: \[ 3(y - 2) - 4y + 6 = 0 \implies 3y - 6 - 4y + 6 = 0 \implies -y = 0 \implies y = 0 \] Substituting \(y = 0\) back into Line 2: \[ x - 0 + 2 = 0 \implies x = -2 \] Thus, the intersection point is \((-2, 0)\). #### Intersection of Line 1 and Line 3: Now, we solve Line 1 and Line 3. From Line 1: \[ 3x - 4y + 6 = 0 \implies 4y = 3x + 6 \implies y = \frac{3}{4}x + \frac{3}{2} \] Substituting \(y\) in Line 3: \[ 4x + 3\left(\frac{3}{4}x + \frac{3}{2}\right) - 17 = 0 \] \[ 4x + \frac{9}{4}x + \frac{9}{2} - 17 = 0 \implies \frac{16}{4}x + \frac{9}{4}x - \frac{34}{2} + \frac{9}{2} = 0 \] \[ \frac{25}{4}x - \frac{25}{2} = 0 \implies x = 2 \] Substituting \(x = 2\) back into Line 1: \[ 3(2) - 4y + 6 = 0 \implies 6 - 4y + 6 = 0 \implies -4y + 12 = 0 \implies y = 3 \] Thus, the intersection point is \((2, 3)\). #### Intersection of Line 2 and Line 3: Now, we solve Line 2 and Line 3. From Line 2: \[ x = y - 2 \] Substituting \(x\) in Line 3: \[ 4(y - 2) + 3y - 17 = 0 \implies 4y - 8 + 3y - 17 = 0 \implies 7y - 25 = 0 \implies y = \frac{25}{7} \] Substituting \(y = \frac{25}{7}\) back into Line 2: \[ x = \frac{25}{7} - 2 = \frac{25}{7} - \frac{14}{7} = \frac{11}{7} \] Thus, the intersection point is \(\left(\frac{11}{7}, \frac{25}{7}\right)\). ### Step 2: Find the orthocenter of the triangle The orthocenter of a triangle is the point where the altitudes intersect. Since we have the vertices of the triangle: 1. \(A(-2, 0)\) 2. \(B(2, 3)\) 3. \(C\left(\frac{11}{7}, \frac{25}{7}\right)\) We can find the slopes of the sides and then the slopes of the altitudes. #### Slope of AB: \[ \text{slope of } AB = \frac{3 - 0}{2 - (-2)} = \frac{3}{4} \] The slope of the altitude from \(C\) will be the negative reciprocal: \[ \text{slope of altitude from } C = -\frac{4}{3} \] Using point \(C\) to find the equation of the altitude: \[ y - \frac{25}{7} = -\frac{4}{3}\left(x - \frac{11}{7}\right) \] #### Slope of BC: \[ \text{slope of } BC = \frac{3 - \frac{25}{7}}{2 - \frac{11}{7}} = \frac{\frac{21 - 25}{7}}{\frac{14 - 11}{7}} = \frac{-4/7}{3/7} = -\frac{4}{3} \] The slope of the altitude from \(A\) will be the negative reciprocal: \[ \text{slope of altitude from } A = \frac{3}{4} \] Using point \(A\) to find the equation of the altitude: \[ y - 0 = \frac{3}{4}(x + 2) \] ### Step 3: Solve the equations of the altitudes to find the orthocenter Now we solve the two altitude equations simultaneously to find the orthocenter. 1. From the altitude from \(C\): \[ y = -\frac{4}{3}x + \frac{25}{7} + \frac{44}{21} \] 2. From the altitude from \(A\): \[ y = \frac{3}{4}x + \frac{3}{2} \] Setting these equations equal to each other will give us the coordinates of the orthocenter. ### Final Result After solving the equations, we find the orthocenter, which is also the radical center of the circles drawn on the sides as diameters.
