Orthocentre of a right angled triangle is the vertex where the angle is 90°

Here, it is right angled at A, so A(2, 3) is the orthocentre.

So the answer is option D.

Eq.of a circle of radius r and having centre at ($x_1, y_1$) is $(x-x_1)^2+(y-y_1)^2=r^2$

Hence, $(x-1)^2+(y-2)^2=4^2$

==> $x^2-2x+1+y^2-4y+4 = 16$

==> $x^2+y^2-2x-4y-11 = 0$

So the answer is option B.

(-4, 2) lies on left to the line x=-3

Distance between the line & point is -3-(-4) = 1

So its reflection must be 1 unit to the right side the line , i.e; (-3+1, 2) = (-2, 2)

So the answer is option B.

Slope = $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ = $\frac{2+1}{2-5} = 3/-3 = -1$

So the answer is option B.

Let (x, y) be the coordinates of A, then

$(\frac{x-5}{2} , \frac{y-4}{2}) = (-1, -1)$

x-5 = -2 & y-4 = -2

x = 3 & y = 2

A = (x, y) = (3,2)

So the answer is option C.

$P(x, y) = (\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n}, \frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n})$

$P(x, 3) = (\frac{-1m+3n}{m+n}, \frac{2m-n}{m+n})$

$\frac{2m-n}{m+n} = 3$

$2m-n = 3m+3n$

$-m = 4n$

$m/n = -4/1$

So the answer is option B.

(-4, 3) lies 3 units left to the line x = -1

So its reflection must lie 3 unit right to the line,

So its reflection is (-1+3, 3) = (2, 3)

So the answer is option D.

3x – 2y = 12 lines cuts Y-axis, where x = 0

3(0)-2y = 12

So the answer is option A.

Slope of a line ax+by+c = 0 is -a/b

Slope of line x-3y+2=0 = -1/-3 = 1/3

Slope of parallel line = 1/3

So the answer is option B.

$P(x, y) = (\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n}, \frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n})$

$P(x, y) = (\frac{2(4)+3(2)}{2+3}, \frac{2(1)+3(3)}{2+3})$

$P(x, y) = (\frac{14}{5}, \frac{11}{5})$

So the answer is option D.

Centroid $= (\frac{x_1+x_2+x_3}{3}, \frac{y_1+y_2+y_3}{3})$

$(x, 2) = (\frac{2-1+2}{3}, \frac{y-3+6}{3})$

$(x, 2) = (1, \frac{y+3}{3})$

=> $x = 1$ , & $2 = (y+3)/3$

=> $x = 1$, & $y = 3$

$x*y = 3$

So the answer is option C.

(-2, -2) lies 1 unit below the line y = -1

So its reflection must lie 1 unit above the line,

So its reflection is (-2, -1+1) = (-2, 0)

So the answer is option A.

Put y = 0 in 3x + 2y = 12,

3x = 12

x = 4

2n = m

m/n = 2/1

So the answer is option B.

Let A be (x, y)

(2,-1) = ($\frac{x+5}{2} , \frac{y-4}{2}$)

x+5 = 2*2 and y-4 = -1*2

x = 4-5 and y = -2+4

x = -1 and y = 2

A = (x,y) = (-1,2)

So the answer is option B.

From the diagram answer is (-1,-1)

So the answer is option C.

Slope = m = $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ = $\frac{2-1}{-2+3}$ = $1$

So the answer is option C.

($\frac{2-1+x}{3} , \frac{3-3+y}{3}$) = (1, 2)

($\frac{1+x}{3} , \frac{y}{3}$) = (1, 2)

1+x = 3 and y = 6

x = 2 and y = 6

x-y = 2-6 = -4

So the answer is option A.

Let the ratio is m:n

1 = $\frac{m(-1)+n(3)}{m+n}$

$m+n = -m+3n$

$2m = 2n$

$m:n = 1:1$

So the answer is option D.

(4, 3) lies above the line y=-1

Mid point = $(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2} , \frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2})$

(2, 3) = $(\frac{4+x}{2} , \frac{1+y}{2})$

$\frac{4+x}{2}$ = 2

4+x = 4

x = 0
