\n" ); document.write( "Find the midpoints.
\n" ); document.write( "Midpoint of AB : (2,10)
\n" ); document.write( "Midpoint of BC :
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5BBC%5D=%284-2%29%2F2=1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y%5BBC%5D=%2810%2B4%29%2F2=7\"
\n" ); document.write( "Midpoint of AC :
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5BAC%5D=%280-2%29%2F2=-1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y%5BAC%5D=%2810%2B4%29%2F2=7\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "From the diagram, it looks like the orthocenter will be (0,7).
\n" ); document.write( "We definitely know that from the midpoint of BC to the midpoint of AC, the equation of the line is \"y=7\".
\n" ); document.write( "The line from C to the midpoint of AB is,
\n" ); document.write( "\"y-4=%28%284-10%29%2F%28-2-2%29%29%28x-%28-2%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y-4=%283%2F2%29%28x%2B2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y-4=%283%2F2%29x%2B3\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%283%2F2%29x%2B7\"
\n" ); document.write( "Since we already know \"y=7\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"7=%283%2F2%29x%2B7\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%283%2F2%29x=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=0\"
