Correct answer: C

  1. Given vertices A(3,−7),B(−1,2),C(4,5)A(3,-7),\quad B(-1,2),\quad C(4,5)A(3,−7),B(−1,2),C(4,5) Let the orthocenter be H(α,β)H(\alpha,\beta)H(α,β).

  2. Find slope of side BCBCBC mBC=5−24−(−1)=35m_{BC}=\frac{5-2}{4-(-1)}=\frac{3}{5}mBC​=4−(−1)5−2​=53​ So the altitude from AAA is perpendicular to BCBCBC, hence its slope is mAH=−53m_{AH}=-\frac{5}{3}mAH​=−35​

    Equation of altitude through A(3,−7)A(3,-7)A(3,−7): y+7=−53(x−3)y+7=-\frac{5}{3}(x-3)y+7=−35​(x−3) 3y+21=−5x+153y+21=-5x+153y+21=−5x+15 5x+3y+6=05x+3y+6=05x+3y+6=0

  3. Find slope of side ACACAC mAC=5−(−7)4−3=12m_{AC}=\frac{5-(-7)}{4-3}=12mAC​=4−35−(−7)​=12 So the altitude from BBB has slope mBH=−112m_{BH}=-\frac{1}{12}mBH​=−121​

    Equation of altitude through B(−1,2)B(-1,2)B(−1,2): y−2=−112(x+1)y-2=-\frac{1}{12}(x+1)y−2=−121​(x+1) 12y−24=−x−112y-24=-x-112y−24=−x−1 x+12y−23=0x+12y-23=0x+12y−23=0

  4. Find intersection of the two altitudes Solve 5x+3y+6=05x+3y+6=05x+3y+6=0 x+12y−23=0x+12y-23=0x+12y−23=0

    From the second equation, x=23−12yx=23-12yx=23−12y Substitute into the first: 5(23−12y)+3y+6=05(23-12y)+3y+6=05(23−12y)+3y+6=0 115−60y+3y+6=0115-60y+3y+6=0115−60y+3y+6=0 121−57y=0121-57y=0121−57y=0 y=12157y=\frac{121}{57}y=57121​

    Then x=23−12⋅12157x=23-12\cdot \frac{121}{57}x=23−12⋅57121​ x=1311−145257=−14157=−4719x=\frac{1311-1452}{57}=-\frac{141}{57}=-\frac{47}{19}x=571311−1452​=−57141​=−1947​

    Hence, α=−4719,β=12157\alpha=-\frac{47}{19},\qquad \beta=\frac{121}{57}α=−1947​,β=57121​

  5. Compute 9α−6β+609\alpha-6\beta+609α−6β+60 9α=9(−4719)=−423199\alpha=9\left(-\frac{47}{19}\right)=-\frac{423}{19}9α=9(−1947​)=−19423​ 6β=6⋅12157=72657=242196\beta=6\cdot \frac{121}{57}=\frac{726}{57}=\frac{242}{19}6β=6⋅57121​=57726​=19242​

    Therefore, 9α−6β+60=−42319−24219+609\alpha-6\beta+60=-\frac{423}{19}-\frac{242}{19}+609α−6β+60=−19423​−19242​+60 =−66519+60=-\frac{665}{19}+60=−19665​+60 =−665+114019=47519=25=\frac{-665+1140}{19}=\frac{475}{19}=25=19−665+1140​=19475​=25

  6. Final answer 9α−6β+60=259\alpha-6\beta+60=259α−6β+60=25 So the correct option is C.
