Straight Lines and Pair of Straight Lines Part 2

Concept:For orthocentre property in a triangle, altitudes are perpendicular. For concurrency of lines in A.P., use condition that lines pass through a fixed point.Explanation:Statement (S1):Let third vertex be $C(x, y)$.Orthocentre $O(0,0)$.Altitude from $A$ is perpendicular to $BC$: slope $m_{AO} \cdot m_{BC} = -1$.$m_{AO} = \frac{-1-0}{5-0} = -\frac{1}{5}$, $m_{BC} = \frac{3-y}{-2-x}$.Equating: $-\frac{1}{5} \cdot \frac{3-y}{-2-x} = -1 \Rightarrow \frac{3-y}{5(-2-x)} = 1 \Rightarrow 3-y = -10-5x \Rightarrow 5x - y = -13$. → (1)Altitude from $B$ is perpendicular to $AC$: $m_{BO} \cdot m_{AC} = -1$.$m_{BO} = \frac{3-0}{-2-0} = -\frac{3}{2}$, $m_{AC} = \frac{-1 - y}{5 - x}$.$-\frac{3}{2} \cdot \frac{-1-y}{5-x} = -1 \Rightarrow \frac{3(1+y)}{2(5-x)} = 1 \Rightarrow 3+3y = 10-2x \Rightarrow 2x + 3y = 7$. → (2)Solving (1) and (2): multiply (2) by 5: $10x + 15y = 35$, multiply (1) by 2: $10x - 2y = -26$; subtract: $17y = 61 \Rightarrow y = \frac{61}{17}$? That doesn't match $(-4,-7)$. Let's recalc carefully.Wait, original solution used $m_{AB} m_{OC} = -1$ for altitude from $C$, not from $B$. Let's rederive properly.Given orthocentre O(0,0). For vertex A(5,-1), altitude through A is line through A perpendicular to BC. But O lies on altitude, so line AO is altitude from A, hence AO ⟂ BC.So $m_{AO} \cdot m_{BC} = -1$. $m_{AO} = \frac{-1}{5}$, $m_{BC} = \frac{3-y}{-2-x}$. So $\frac{-1}{5} \cdot \frac{3-y}{-2-x} = -1 \Rightarrow \frac{3-y}{5(x+2)} = -1 \Rightarrow 3-y = -5x -10 \Rightarrow 5x - y = -13$. That agrees with original equation $2h-3k=13$? Actually original first equation is $2h-3k=13$, but we got $5x-y=-13$. So mismatch. Possibly because coordinates are different? Let's check original: it says $m_{AO} m_{BC} = -1$ and then gives $2h-3k=13$. Let's assume the original derivation is correct as given; for rewriting we should present the original solution in a clear way without recalculating. The problem statement says "Rewrite the given solution", so we should not change the logic, just reformat. So we keep the derived equations as in original: $2h-3k=13$ and $4k=7h$ leading to $(-4,-7)$. So we can present:Let third vertex be $(h,k)$.Orthocentre is $(0,0)$.Altitude from $A$: $AO \perp BC$ gives $m_{AO} \cdot m_{BC} = -1$.$m_{AO}=\frac{-1}{5}$, $m_{BC}=\frac{3-k}{-2-h}$.$\Rightarrow \frac{-1}{5} \cdot \frac{3-k}{-2-h} = -1 \Rightarrow \frac{3-k}{5(h+2)} = -1 \Rightarrow 3-k = -5h-10 \Rightarrow 5h - k = -13$. This is not $2h-3k=13$. There's inconsistency. To avoid confusion, we should stick exactly to the equations given in the original solution: it states "$\Rightarrow 2h-3k=13$" and "$\Rightarrow 4k=7h$". So we will present those as derived steps, without re-deriving. The original is likely correct for its coordinate system; we assume it's correct.Thus for rewriting, we can simply state:From orthocentre properties:$m_{AO} \cdot m_{BC} = -1 \Rightarrow 2h-3k=13$.$m_{AB} \cdot m_{OC} = -1 \Rightarrow 4k=7h$.Solving: $h=-4$, $k=-7$.Hence third vertex $(-4,-7)$, so statement (S1) is true.Statement (S2):$2a, b, c$ are three consecutive terms of an A.P.Thus $2b = 2a + c \Rightarrow 2a - 2b + c = 0$.Consider the family of lines $ax + by + c = 0$.Using condition $2a - 2b + c = 0$, compare with $ax + by + c = 0$ to get point of concurrency.Write the line equation as $a(x) + b(y) + c(1) = 0$.For all $a,b,c$ satisfying $2a - 2b + c = 0$, there is a fixed point $(x,y)$ such that $a x + b y + c = 0$ holds identically.Equating coefficients: $x/2 = y/(-2) = 1/1$. So $x=2$, $y=-2$.Thus concurrency at $(2,-2)$, so statement (S2) is correct.Since both statements are correct, the correct option is C.Answer:Both statements are correct. Option C: both are correct.
