Answer:

  (-2, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The orthocenter is the intersection of the altitudes. The altitude lines are not difficult to find here. Each is a line through the vertex that is perpendicular to the opposite side.

Side XZ is horizontal, so the altitude to that side is the vertical line through Y. The x-coordinate of Y is -2, so that altitude has equation ...

  x = -2

__

Side YZ has a rise/run of -1/1 = -1, so the altitude to that side will be the line through X with a slope of -1/(-1) = 1. In point-slope form, the equation is ...

  y -(-1) +(1)(x -(-5))

  y = x +4 . . . . . . . . subtract 1 and simplify

The orthocenter is the point that satisfies both these equations. Using the first equation to substitute for x in the second, we have ...

  y = (-2) +4 = 2

The orthocenter is (x, y) = (-2, 2).

Answer:

Domain= (-inf,inf)/(-∞,∞)

Range= (-inf,25/16]

x-intercepts= (0,0), (5/4,0)

y-intercepts=(0,0)

vertex= maximum (5/8,25/16)

It is a six-digit
KonstantinChe [14]
Ok, the first clue is it has six digit and the second clue is it’s a whole number!
So we know it lies between 99999 and 1000000
3rd clue tells it has only 3 different digits and 4th clue tells us each are used twice!
Moving on, 5th clue says none of its digits are even! 6th speaks none are divisible be 3
So the possibilities for digits are 1, 5, 7
And it’s greater than 600000, then the 1st digit must be 7! It is divisible be 5, so last digit must be 5!
7th clue states that It’s tenth digit is same as hundred-thousand! Means the tenth digit is 7
Let’s see what we got!
{7xxx75}
Clue no 8 as you can see says that it’s thousands digit is same as unit digit
So the number now is {7x5x75}
9th clue says it’s hundreds digit is different from tens digit meaning the hundreds digit is either 1 or 7 and we used 7 two times, so it’s 1 and clue 10 says it’s ten thousands digit is 1 so the number that’s playing hide ‘n seek or most probably riddle game is 715175!
