For a regular hexagon, the interior angles are 120°, since they add up to 720 (180(6 - 2))

We also know, for a regular hexagon, all sides are equal.
Refer to my diagram.

Triangle AFE is an isosceles triangle, because two sides of the triangle are equal in a regular hexagon.
Thus, 120 + 2x = 180 (angle sum of triangle)
2x = 60 and x = 30

Now, ∠FEA = 30°, but we know that ∠FED is 120° (all interior angles of a regular hexagon is 120°)
We know that ∠FED = ∠FEA + ∠AED
120° = 30° + ∠AED
∴ ∠AED = 90° (120 - 30)

If ∠AED is 90°, then, by definition, AE ⊥ ED

Answer:

  (d)  y = -2x +8

Step-by-step explanation:

The parallel line will have the same x-coefficient, eliminating choices B and C. If it goes through point (4, 0), then (x, y) = (4, 0) will satisfy the equation.

  A: 0 = -2(4) +4 = -4 . . . . . not true

  D: 0 = -2(4) +8 . . . . . . . . true

The equation you're looking for is ...

  y = -2x +8

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

Since you know the slope is -2 and a point on the line is (4, 0), you can use the point-slope form of the equation for a line as a starting point.

  y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

For m = -2, and (h, k) = (4, 0), the equation becomes ...

  y -0 = -2(x -4)

Simplified to slope-intercept form, this is ...

  y = -2x +8
