Two vertices of a triangle are (0,2)(0,2) and (4,3)(4,3) . If its orthocentre is at the origin, then its third vertex lies in which quadrant ?

A

Fourth

B

Second

C

Third

D

First

Answer

Second

Explanation

Solution

mBD×mAD=1m _{ BD } \times m _{ AD }=-1
(3240)×(b0a0)=1\Rightarrow\left(\frac{3-2}{4-0}\right) \times\left(\frac{ b -0}{ a -0}\right)=-1
