Line passing through a point and parallel to another: Where am I wrong?
documentclass{standalone}
usepackage{tikz}
usetikzlibrary{intersections}
usetikzlibrary{calc}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
coordinate (A) at (0,0);
coordinate (B) at (2,4);
coordinate (C) at (8,0);
coordinate (M) at (4,0);
path[name path=Circle] (B) circle [radius=3cm];
path[name path=AB] (A)--(B);
path[name path=BC] (B)--(C);
path [name intersections={of=Circle and BC}];
coordinate (E) at (intersection-1);
path [name intersections={of=Circle and AB}];
coordinate (D) at (intersection-1);
draw[thick](A)--(B)--(C)--cycle;
draw[thick](B) circle [radius=3cm];
draw[thick](D)--(E) (M)--(B);
% From a point draw a parallel line by calculating the vector
coordinate (P) at (intersection cs:first line={(B)--(C)}, second line={(A) -- +($(E)-(D)$)});
% Here is my problem:
coordinate (N) at (intersection cs:first line={(B)--(M)}, second line={(C) -- +($(D)-(E)$)});
draw[thick, red] (A)--(P) (C)--(N);
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}
Question: The second drawn line, which is supposed to also be a parallel, is not. What am I doing wrong?
