Dynamic Geometry 1451: Orthopole of a Line

If perpendiculars AA', BB', and CC' are dropped to any line L from the vertices of a triangle ABC, then the perpendiculars A'A''. B'B'', and C'C'' to the opposite sides BC, AC, and AB, respectively, are concurrent at a point P called the orthopole of the line L and triangle ABC.
