True or false? if false why

False

Step-by-step explanation:

False.

The point on the opposite side is not necessarily the midpoint of the opposite side. In fact, the the point does not even have to be on the opposite side.

The altitude of a triangle is a segment whose endpoints are a vertex of the triangle and a point on the line containing the opposite side such that the altitude is perpendicular to that line.

it has the same slope and a different y-intercept

hope this : )
