Based on the calculations, the equation of the triangle's line of symmetry is equal to: B. y = x - 1.
<h3>How to determine the equation of the triangle's line of symmetry?</h3>
First of all, we would determine the midpoint where the line of symmetry passes through points A and B:
Midpoint at point A = (3 + 7)/2 = 10/2 = 5.
Midpoint at point B = (6 + 2)/2 = 8/2 = 4.
Point D = (5, 4)
Mathematically, the standard equation of a line is given by y = ax + b.
D(5, 4); 4 = 5a + b ....equation 1.
C(4, 3); 3 = 4a + b ....equation 2.
Subtracting eqn. 2 from eqn. 1, we have:
1 = a
Next, we would find the value of b:
4 = 5a + b
4 = 5(1) + b
b = 4 - 5
b = -1.
Therefore, the equation of the triangle's line of symmetry is given by:
y = ax + b
y = x(1) + (-1)
y = x - 1.
