Detailed Solution

Given O (0, 0) is the orthocenter.

Let A (h, k) be third vertex,B(2,3) , and C(5,1) the other two vertices.

Then the slope of the line through A and O is k/ h, while the lines through B and C have the slope47 . By the property of the orthocenter, these  two lines must be perpendicular, so we have

 (kh)(47)=1kh=74(1)

Also, 52+h3+1+3+k3=7

h+k=16.........(2)

Which is not satisfied by the points given in (a), (b), or (c)
