Answer:
so you're going to need to find the slope. in order to do that use (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(7-(-2))/(0-8)
simplify
9/-8
simplify -9/8
now using y=mx+b, we need to find b. so we can plug in the coordinates of (0,7) or (8,-2). let's use (8,-2) because it involves more math.
y=mx+b
-2=(-9/8)(8)+b
multiply (-9/8) by 8 to get -9
-2=-9+b
add 9 to both sides
7=b
so our equation is now
y=-(9/8)x+7
Step-by-step explanation:
Negative because it is below sea level.
X2=9 has only one solution, which is 4.5
The top part of the shape is 8x6 and the bottom part is 6x6 so the answer is 84
