Given,
The plane meet the co-ordinate axes at the points ,
So,
And the orthocenter of the triangle is ,
We know that, circumcentre of triangle is point of intersection of perpendicular bisectors,
So, plotting the diagram we get,

Now from diagram we can see that
So, by perpendicular vector formula we get,
Similarly, for side we get,
Similarly, for side we get,
Now from equation we get,
Now using the relation between centroid, circumcentre and orthocentre, we get,

Now on comparing both side we get,
