Two vertices of a triangle are $(5, - 1)$ and $( - 2,3)$. If orthocentre is the origin then coordinates of the third vertex are

$(7, 4)$

$(-4, 7)$

$(4, -7)$

$(-4, -7)$

Solution

(d) Let the third vertex be $(h, k)$. Obviously the equation of $AB$ is $\sqrt {\frac{5}{2}} $$ \Rightarrow 4x + 7y – 13 = 0$.
Thus equation of $CE$ is $7x – 4y + \lambda = 0$, but it passes through origin, so $\lambda = 0$. Hence $7x – 4y = 0$ ….(i)
Also equation of $CE$ is $y – 0 = \frac{k}{h}(x – 0)$
==> $ – kx + hy = 0$……(ii)
Here (i) and (ii) are same lines, therefore $(h, k)$ is $( – 4, – 7)$.

Let the line $x+y=1$ meet the axes of $x$ and $y$ at $A$ and $B$, respectively. A right angled triangle $A M N$ is inscribed in the triangle $O A B$, where $O$ is the origin and the points $M$ and $N$ lie on the lines $OB$ and $A B$, respectively. If the area of the triangle AMN is $\frac{4}{9}$ of the area of the triangle $OAB$ and $AN : NB =\lambda: 1$, then the sum of all possible value$(s)$ of is $\lambda$ :
