The points A(3,4)A(-3,4) and C(5,4)C(5,4) are vertices of a rhombus ABCDABCD. The goal of this task is to find the equation of the diagonal BDBD. In order to do so, use the fact that diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular. Also, find the coordinates of BB and DD if it is known that the side BDBD has gradient 53\frac{5}{3}. In order to do so, find the points of intersection of diagonals and sides of a rhombus.
