The correct answer is:
$(2,-4)$
$\begin{aligned} & 6 x^2+x y-y^2=0 \\ & \Rightarrow(2 x+y)(3 x-y)=0 \\ & \Rightarrow 3 x-y=0 \text { and } 2 x+y=0 \text { and } x-2 y=10 \\ & \because 2 x+y=0 \text { and } x-2 y=10 \text { are perpendicular }\end{aligned}$
Hence, orthocentre is point of intersection $2 x+y=0$ and $x-2 y=10$ i.e. $(2,-4)$
Hence, orthocentre is point of intersection $2 x+y=0$ and $x-2 y=10$ i.e. $(2,-4)$
