The correct answer is: 5,4


Let feet of altitudes through A,B,C are D,E,F respectively.
Now, C lies on the line CF,CA & CB
Now, the slope of AD is 7-64-4=N.D.
 the slope of BC is 0 equation of BC is y=4
Now, the slope of BE is 6-44-(-2)=13
 the slope of AC is -3
equation of the line AC is y-7=-3x-4
Point of intersection of y=4 and y-7=-3x-4 gives point C

C=5,4
