Equation of the line CD is equals to [tex]y = \frac{-x}{4} +7[/tex].
What are parallel lines?
" Parallel lines are defined as the lines in the same plane never intersect with each other. They are equidistant to each other in the same plane."
Formula used
[tex]Slope = \frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]
According to the question,
Given,
Coordinates of A [tex](x_{1},y_{1})[/tex] = ( -2 , 5)
Coordinates of B [tex](x_{2},y_{2})[/tex] = ( 6 , 3)
Substitute the value to get the slope of line AB we get,
[tex]Slope of line AB 'm_{1}' =\frac{3-5}{6-(-2)}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]m_{1} = \frac{-2}{8}[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{-1}{4}[/tex]
Coordinates of C [tex](x_{1},y_{1})[/tex] = ( x ,y)
Coordinates of B [tex](x_{2},y_{2})[/tex] = ( 8,5)
Substitute the value to get the slope of line CD we get,
[tex]Slope of line CD 'm_{2}' =\frac{5-y}{8-x}[/tex]
Lines AB and CD are parallel.
Slope of parallel lines are equal.
Therefore,
[tex]m_{2} = m_{1}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]\frac{5-y}{8-x}[/tex] [tex]= \frac{-1}{4}[/tex]
⇒[tex]5-y = \frac{-1}{4} (8-x)[/tex]
⇒ [tex]y = \frac{-x}{4} +7[/tex]
Hence, equation of the line CD is equals to [tex]y = \frac{-x}{4} +7[/tex].
