Question
Vertices of a triangle are (4, 3) , 
Then the locus of the orthocenter is
- a straight line
- a circle
- ellipse
- hyperbola
The correct answer is: a circle
Let 
be the vertices and 
be the centroid and orthocentre of 
If 
is the origin 
is the circumcentre of 
divides OH in the ratio 1 : 2.
Hence 
is 
locus of is 
which is a circle.

If 7x – y + 3 = 0; x + y – 3 = 0 are tow sides of an isosceles triangle and the third side passes through (1, 0) then the equation of the third side is
So here we used the concept of the triangles, and the equations of the lines to solve this problem. We know that the equation of a straight line in slope-intercept form is given as y = mx+c, so we used that here. So the equation of the third side is x + 3y - 1 = 0.
