SOLUTION: Graph the triangle with vertics a(0,24), b(-15,0), c(24,0). A) draw the three altitudes. Determine(algebraically) where the three altitudes intersect.

Question 927664: Graph the triangle with vertics a(0,24), b(-15,0), c(24,0). A) draw the three altitudes. Determine(algebraically) where the three altitudes intersect.
Answer by KMST(5328) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
BC is the horizontal line (the x-axis), and AC is the line <---> .
Since BC is the horizontal line (the x-axis), the altitude to BC is the vertical line passing through A, (the y-axis).
Since AC is a line with , the altitude to AC is the line with passing through B(-15,0).
That line is <---> .
The three altitudes intersect at one point.
The point where the two altitudes found intersect can be found by solving the system
---> .
That intersection is the point (0,15).
