1. **Problem statement:**
We are given points $C(3, -6)$ and $D(-2, 4)$.
2. **Find the slope of line $CD$:**
The slope formula is:
$$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$$
where $(x_1, y_1) = (3, -6)$ and $(x_2, y_2) = (-2, 4)$.
3. **Calculate the slope:**
$$m = \frac{4 - (-6)}{-2 - 3} = \frac{4 + 6}{-5} = \frac{10}{-5}$$
4. **Simplify the fraction:**
$$m = \frac{\cancel{10}^{2 \times 5}}{\cancel{-5}^{-1 \times 5}} = -2$$
5. **Translate points $C$ and $D$ right 5 units to get $C'$ and $D'$:**
Translation right 5 units means adding 5 to the $x$-coordinates.
$$C' = (3 + 5, -6) = (8, -6)$$
$$D' = (-2 + 5, 4) = (3, 4)$$
6. **Find the slope of line $C'D'$:**
Using the slope formula again with $C'(8, -6)$ and $D'(3, 4)$:
$$m' = \frac{4 - (-6)}{3 - 8} = \frac{10}{-5} = -2$$
7. **Relationship between lines $CD$ and $C'D'$:**
Both lines have the same slope $-2$, so they are parallel.
Translation does not change the slope, only shifts the line horizontally.
**Final answers:**
- Slope of $CD$ is $-2$.
- Coordinates of $C'$ and $D'$ are $(8, -6)$ and $(3, 4)$ respectively.
- Slope of $C'D'$ is $-2$.
- Lines $CD$ and $C'D'$ are parallel because they have the same slope.
