The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Concept: Factor pair of lines. \[ 2x^2-xy-3y^2=0 \] \[ (2x-3y)(x+y)=0 \] Thus lines: \[ 2x-3y=0 \] \[ x+y=0 \] Together with third line forms triangle.

Step 1:
Find triangle vertices.
Intersect lines pairwise. Obtain vertices. \[ A=(0,0) \] \[ B=(-\frac{12}{5},-\frac{12}{5}) \] \[ C=(\frac{12}{7},\frac87) \]

Step 2:
Find altitudes.
Equation of altitude from one vertex perpendicular to opposite side. Similarly second altitude. Solving gives intersection: \[ (-2,2) \] Thus orthocentre \[ \boxed{(-2,2)} \]
