<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>
Your problem did not have an operator between the x and 1 so I did it as subtraction and addition. There was no answer choice -3 so D x=-9 is the answer
Answer:
2s-10
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
If B is between A and C, AB = x, BC = 2x + 2, and AC = 14, find the value of x. Then find AB and BC.
Step-by-step explanation:
AB=x
BC = 2x + 2BC=2x+2
AC =14AC=14
Required
Determine x, AB and BC.
Since B is between A and C;
AB + BC = ACAB+BC=AC
Substitute x for AB; 2x + 2 for BC and 14 for AC
x + 2x + 2 = 14x+2x+2=14
3x + 2 = 143x+2=14

3x = 14 - 23x=14−2
3x = 123x=12 '
x = \frac{12}{3}x=

x = 4x=4
Substitute 4 for x in
AB = xAB=x
BC = 2x + 2BC=2x+2
AB = 4AB=4
BC = 2(4) + 2BC=2(4)+2
BC = 8 + 2BC=8+2
BC = 10BC=10
