<span>Orthocenter is at (-3,3) The orthocenter of a triangle is the intersection of the three heights of the triangle (a line passing through a vertex of the triangle that's perpendicular to the opposite side from the vertex. Those 3 lines should intersect at the same point and that point may be either inside or outside of the triangle. So, let's calculate the 3 lines (we could get by with just 2 of them, but the 3rd line acts as a nice cross check to make certain we didn't do any mistakes.) Slope XY = (3 - 3)/(-3 - 1) = 0/-4 = 0 Ick. XY is a completely horizontal line and it's perpendicular will be a complete vertical line with a slope of infinity. But that's enough to tell us that the orthocenter will have the same x-coordinate value as vertex Z which is -3. Slope XZ = (3 - 0)/(-3 - (-3)) = 3/0 Another ick. This slope is completely vertical. So the perpendicular will be complete horizontal with a slope of 0 and will have the same y-coordinate value as vertex Y which is 3. So the orthocenter is at (-3,3).</span>

What is the factored form of the quadratic equation y=x2+4x-12? <br><br> PLEASE HELP ME!!!
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

(x + 6)(x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic equation is $ y = x^2 + 4x - 12 $.

A quadratic equation can be factored in the form $ (x - a) (x - b) $ where $ -a $ and $ -b $ will form the roots of the equation

Here the roots are $ - 6 $ and $ 2 $.

The factored form would simply be: $ (x + 6) (x - 2) = 0 $.

Thus the answer.
