i can tell u a short cut for this."Elessar sir plz tell ur opinions on this.


 


i will try to xplain the procedure wid an example


 


Given the vertices are(1,-3),(6,1), and (4,-1)) shift the origin to (1,-3) by transformation of axes then the vertices are (0,0) (5,4) (3,2). First we hav to find Q


Q = x1x2+y1y2/x1y2-x2y1 = 15+8/10-12 = -23/2.


 Now before calculating ortho do this  [Q(y2-y1), -Q(x2-x1)] = [-23/2(-2), 23/2(-2)] = (23, -23)


 


therefore Ortho centre = [23+1, 23+(-3)] = (24, -26)........the last step is becoz we had transformed the origin if the vertices are lik (0,0) (x1,y1) (x2,y2) the last step can be omitted.
