Question

Please help, easy geometry work

Answer 1

Explanation:

Find the slope of AB

: The slope is

`(7 - 0)/(3 - 8) = - (7)/(5)`

Find the y intercept by plugging coordinates in

`0 = - ( 7)/(5) (8) + b`

`0 = ( - 56)/(5) + b`

`b = (56)/(5)`

Find CD: We know that AB and CD are parallel to each other so this means they both have the same slope.

We can find the next point by subtracting 7 from the y coordinate of Point D, Adding 5 to the x coordinate of Point D.

Point C=(10,-2).

Find the y intercept by a plugging coordinates in

`5 = - (7)/(5) (5) + b`

`5 = - 7 + b`

`12 = b`

So the Equation of Line CD is

`- (7)/(5) x + 12`
