Answer:
(a) (-2, 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
The orthocenter is the point of concurrence of the altitudes of the triangle.
A plot of the triangle vertices shows the triangle to be acute. That means the orthocenter is inside. This eliminates choices B, C, D, which are all points outside the triangle.
__
Conveniently, side LM is horizontal. This means the orthocenter will have the x-coordinate of the vertical line through N, which is -2. Only one answer choice has an x-coordinate of -2:
a (-2, 4)
