Answer:

The coordinates of point D will vary based on the point location, but the resulting slope of the line through points C and D will be the same.

A = (-3, 3), B = (-1,-1)

Slope of AB = (YB−YA) / ( XB –XA) =−1−3 / −1−(−3)= − 4 / 2= −2

D = (-1,6), C = (1,2)

Slope of DC = (YC−YD) / (XC−XD)= 2 – 6 / 1−(−1)=−4 / 2=−2
