Help please. I think I'm overcomplicating this. <@&791435371564892232>

I’d recommend drawing a diagram to help you vision it

#

Then you’d find the gradient of CD by calculating the gradient of AB because they are parallel so they have the same gradient

#

And you’d sub in the x and y values from C to get the full equation

#

For D you can sub in the values into the equation to show it lies on the line but also create a new equation for AD by using the gradient as the negative reciprocal of the gradient for CD or AB

#

And sub in As coordinates to get the full equation

#

Then you could make them equal to each other to find out the x value they meet at

#

And sub that into either equation to get the y value

#

That should be (-1, 2)

#

And you’d use change in y/change in x for the gradient

#

or y2-y1/x2-x1

@stable sinew cheers bro
