Answer:
3x-4y=2
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Plot the figure
we have
A (2, 2), B(-2, -2), C(1, -1), and D(6, 4)
using a graphing tool
The longer diagonal is BD
see the attached figure
step 2
Find the slope of the diagonal BD
we have
B(-2, -2) and D(6, 4)
m=(4+2)/(6+2)
m=3/4
step 3
Find the equation of the diagonal BD into point slope form
y-y1=m(x-x1)
we have
m=3/4
D(6,4)
substitute
y-4=(3/4)(x-6)
step 4
Convert the equation in standard form
The equation of the line in standard form is equal to
Ax+By=C
y-4=(3/4)(x-6)
y=(3/4)x-(18/4)+4
Multiply by 4 both sides
4y=3x-18+16
3x-4y=18-16
3x-4y=2 -----> equation of the diagonal in standard form
