    Orthocenter of a triangle with one vertex at the origin D (0,0), E (0,7), F (6,3)

    The orthocenter is the meet of the altitudes.

    DE is the line x=0. That's the y axis. The altitude is the perpendicular through F (6,3), so is the horizontal line y=3.

    DF is the line

    6y=3x

    y = (1/2) x

    Perpendicular through E (0,7) is

    y - 7 = (-2) (x - 0)

    y = - 2x + 7

    That's the other altitude. Intersecting with y=3

    3 = - 2x + 7

    -4 = - 2x

    x = 2

    y = 3

    Answer: orthocenter is (2,3)
