To find the orthocenter of the equilateral triangle with one vertex at the origin (0,0) and the side opposite to it given by the equation \(x + y = 1\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the vertices of the triangle Let the vertices of the triangle be \(A(0, 0)\), \(B(x_1, y_1)\), and \(C(x_2, y_2)\). The line \(BC\) is given by the equation \(x + y = 1\). ### Step 2: Find the foot of the perpendicular from the origin to the line \(BC\) The equation of the line can be rewritten in the form \(Ax + By + C = 0\): - Here, \(A = 1\), \(B = 1\), and \(C = -1\). ...
