Step-by-step explanation:
(a)
Since lines AB and CD are parallel then their slopes are equal
y = - x + 14 is in slope- intercept form ( y = mx + c )
with slope m = -
Hence slope of CD = -
D is the point (0, 7) ⇒ c = 7
y = - x + 7 ← equation of CD
(b)
to find the x- intercept let y = 0, in the equation and solve for x
- x + 7 = 0 ( multiply through by 2 )
- x + 14 = 0 ⇒ - x = - 14 ⇒ x = 14 ← x- intercept of CD
