Y=5x-3. First, you have to find the slope, which is 10/2 or 5/1. Then, you plug in the x and y with either of the 2 coordinates (I chose the first), and sole for the y-intercept.
The triangle shown is a right triangle shown by the little square inside of it.
Area of a triangle is 1/2 x height x base
Rotating the shown triangle so the square is at a bottom corner the height is 6 and the base is 6
Area = 1/2 x 6 x 6 = 18 square cm
This is a proportion problem that involves cross-multiplication
Set your problem up like so:

=

Now cross multiply
2,000 x 3 = 6,000
now you're left with 5x = 6,000
Now divide by 5 on both sides
Answer is 1,200
It is negative only when the number itself is negative.
hence, sometimes.
