Detailed Solution

We know that, circumcentre, centroid and orthocentre of a triangle are collinear.Hence, orthocentre lies on the line joining circumcentre (0, 0) and centroid   (a+1)22,(a−1)22Equation of the line is (a+1)22y=(a−1)22x(a−1)2x−(a+1)2y=0Therefore, the equation of the line where the orthocentre lies is  (a−1)2x−(a+1)2y=0
