Of the three lines x+√3y=0,x+y=1,x−√3y=0 two are equations of two altitides of an equilateral triangle. Prove that the centroid of triangle is the point (0,0)

Solution
The two lines x+√3y=0 and x−√3y=0 are equally inclined to x-axis. Hence these will be the two altitudes of equilateral triangle which intersect at (0,0). hence the orthocentre is (0,0) which coincides with centroid.
