From the given figure, its clearly seen that
Co-ordinates of A are (2, 3) and of B are (-1, 2) and of C are (3, 0).
Now,
Slope of BC = (0 – 2)/ (3 – (-1))
= -2/4
= -1/2
So, the slope of the line parallel to BC is also -1/2
And, the line passes through A (2, 3)
Hence, the equation will be
y – 3 = (-1/2) (x – 2)
2y – 6 = -x + 2
x + 2y = 8
