Question
Find the orthocenter of a triangle with the given vertices. $$R(-8,9), S(-2,9), T(-2,1)$$
Step 1
The orthocenter of a triangle is the point where the three altitudes of the triangle intersect. An altitude of a triangle is a line which passes through a vertex of the triangle and is perpendicular to the opposite side. Show more…
