We know that the orthocenter is where the interestion of the altitudes of the triangle.

Let's see,

Extend the altitude lines passing thru the vertex and make perpendicular to the opposite side.
In this case is an obtuse triangle, the orthocenter lies outside the triangle.

--> ----> ORTHOCENTER (-3,-4)
