Triangle ABC and triangle LMN are similar and have the same orientation. The endpoints of the hypotenuse of triangle ABC are A(2, -2) and C(8, -5). The hypotenuse of triangle LMN is on the same line as the hypotenuse of triangle ABC and is one-third the length of AC.

What is the the equation of the line that the hypotenuse of triangle LMN lies on?





On the hypotenuse of triangle LMN, if coordinate L is at point (-6, 2), coordinate N is at point ( , ).
