Write the coordinates of the orthocenter of the triangle formed by the lines xy = 0 and x + y = 1

Answer»

Given:

Lines xy = 0 and x + y = 1 

To find: 

The coordinates of the orthocenter of the triangle formed by the lines xy = 0 and x + y = 1 

Explanation: 

The equation xy = 0 represents a pair of straight lines. 

The lines can be written separately in the following way: 

x = 0 … (1) 

y = 0 … (2) 

The third line is 

x + y = 1 … (3) 

Lines (1) and (2) are perpendicular to each other as they are coordinate axes. 

Therefore, the triangle formed by the lines (1), (2) and (3) is a right-angled triangle. 

Thus, the or the centre of the triangle formed by the given lines is the intersection of x = 0 and y = 0, which is (0, 0).
