Slope of the line $C D$

$ =\frac{6-2}{-2-4}=\frac{4}{-6}=-\frac{2}{3} $ Slope of the line $A B=-\frac{1}{-\frac{2}{3}}=\frac{3}{2}$ Mid-point of $C D$ is $O\left(\frac{4-2}{2}, \frac{2+6}{2}\right)$ $ =O(1,4) $ Equation of line $A B$ is, $ \begin{aligned} y-4 & =\frac{3}{2}(x-1) \\ \Rightarrow \quad 2 y-8 & =3 x-3 \\ \Rightarrow \quad 3 x-2 y+5 & =0 \end{aligned} $
