Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y + 5 = -1/2(x - 4)
y + 5 = -1/2x + 2
y = -1/2x - 3
The point where the two diagonals meet is also the midpoint of both diagonals.
This means that AE = EC . Since we have the value for both segments, we have

Since AC = AE + EC, we have

In such type of questions, all that you are supposed to do is, use basic mathematics to eliminate any one of the given two variables.
Check out the equations if in case you can multiply any of the given ones with a -1 and add the two equations,eliminating one of the variables.
