Equation of the line CD is equals to y = \frac{-x}{4} +7.

<h3>What are parallel lines?</h3>

" 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

Slope = \frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

According to the question,

Given,

Coordinates of A (x_{1},y_{1}) = ( -2 , 5)

Coordinates of B (x_{2},y_{2}) = ( 6 , 3)

Substitute the value to get the slope of line AB we get,

Slope of line AB  'm_{1}' =\frac{3-5}{6-(-2)}

                    ⇒ m_{1} = \frac{-2}{8}          

                              = \frac{-1}{4}

Coordinates of C (x_{1},y_{1}) = ( x ,y)

Coordinates of B (x_{2},y_{2}) = ( 8,5)

Substitute the value to get the slope of line CD we get,

Slope of line CD  'm_{2}' =\frac{5-y}{8-x}

Lines AB and CD are parallel.

Slope of parallel lines are equal.

Therefore,

                     m_{2} = m_{1}          

                 ⇒ \frac{5-y}{8-x} = \frac{-1}{4}

                ⇒5-y = \frac{-1}{4} (8-x)

                ⇒ y = \frac{-x}{4} +7

Hence, equation of the line CD is equals to y = \frac{-x}{4} +7.

A 4-foot tree was planted in 1984. The tree grows continuously by 22% each year from this point forward. Find the height of the
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

the tree will be 11.04 feet tall

Step-by-step explanation:

4 x 0.22 (22%) = 0.88

every year it grows 0.88 foot.

0.88 x 8 = 7.04

4 + 7.04 = 11.04 feet tall

sorry if this is wrong!
