B(5,8)
C(15,4)
D(15,52)

Explanation:

(1) Finding B.
Slope of AE.
6413=12

Since AE is perpendicular to EB, the slope of BE is 2 (negative reciprocal of 12).

The (x,y) in here will be B's coordinates.
Slope of BE(2)=y4x3
2x6=y4
2xy=2

Slope of AB(13)=y6x+1
x+1=3y18
x3y=19

Solve the system of equations:
2xy=2
2x+6y=38

5y=40
y=8,x=5

Thus B(5,8).

(2)

The height of Triangle EBC is the difference of y coordinates of B and E.
Which is 84=4

The base of the Triangle is the difference of the x coordinates of E and C
(The x coordinate of C is unkown.)
Which is (x3).

Use the area of triangle area of EBC.
EBC=12(x3)(4)
24=2x6
x=15

Thus C(15,4)

(3) Finding D.
The slope of AE is the same as AD.
Thus:
AE=y4x3
12=y4x3

But the x coordinate of C is the same as D.
12=y41512
3=2y8
y=52

Thus: D(15,52)
