Answer:
x -2y = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the line between points C and D is ...
m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)
m = (7 -13)/(5 -2) = -6/3 = -2
The slope of the perpendicular line is the opposite reciprocal of this: -1/(-2) = 1/2. The point-slope equation of the desired line is ...
y -k = m(x -h) . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)
y -1 = 1/2(x -(-2))
We can rearrange this to standard form.
2y -2 = x +2 . . . . . multiply by 2
-4 = x -2y . . . . . . . subtract 2y+2
x -2y = -4 . . . . . . standard form equation of the desired line
