Draw any two altitudes of the triangle. They will intersect in one point called the orthocenter. So find the equations of the two altitudes and solve for xand y simultaneously. The solution will be the orthocenter.

Ortho center is the point of intersection of altitudes( perpendiculars ) drawn from three vertices to the opposite sides.
It is just enough to draw two altitudes. Third altitude passes through the intersection of these two altitudes.

u use the altitude of a triangle which goes through a vertex and perpendicular 2 the side opposite
