Answer 1

Answer:

$y = -x+8$

Step-by-step explanation:

The side that is parallel to BC is EF

Find the slope of EF:

$m = \frac{2-4}{6-4} =\frac{-2}{-2} =-1$

Easiest way is just put the formula in point-slope form and simplify.

Let's use point F, which is (6,2)

$y -2=-(x-6)$

Simplify:

$y-2=-x+6$

Add 2 on both sides:

$y = -x+8$

Hope this helped

Answer 2

Y= -x+8
