Hey there! :)
Answer:
y = 5x + 10
Step-by-step explanation:
From the information given, we can derive the points (-2, 0) and (0, 10). Find the slope using the slope formula:
Plug in the points:
Simplify:
m = 5.
The equation in slope-intercept form is y = mx + b. We were already given the b value, or y-intercept as y = 10. Therefore:
y = 5x + 10 is the equation written in slope-intercept form.
P(7,6), Q(1,6), R(4,2)
We have PQ parallel to the x axis. We'll call that the base,
b = 7 - 1 = 6
The altitude is then the y difference h = 6 - 2 = 4
The area is
Answer: 12 square units
In general we can use the shoelace formula for the area of any polygon given coordinates. We write the points like this:
(7,6), (1,6), (4,2)
(1,6), (4,2), (7,6)
The area is then half the absolute value of the sum of the cross products:
