Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
An equation of a line is given
, where m is the gradient or 
The rise indicates the change in value of y (vertical change in the graph).
The run indicates the change in value of x (horizontal change in the graph).
Let point 1 of the graph be (x,y) = (0,-34) and point 2 be (x,y) = (20,0).
Substitute point 1 into the graph to get the constant c.



∴ The equation of the line is, 
To reduce a fraction, divide the numerator and the denominator equally until they reach the simplest whole number possible.
In this case, the numerator (720) and the denominator (1080) can both be divided by 360 to get 2/3, our reduced fraction.
Answer:
√65/2 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the diagram attached
Area of the triangle = 1/2 * base * height
To get the base and height, we will use the distance formula;
Area of the triangle LMN = 1/2 * LM * MN
For MN
Given the coordinate M(3, 2) and N(1, 3)
MN = √(3-2)²+(1-3)²
MN = √1²+(-2)²
MN = √1+4
MN = √5
For LM;
Given the coordinate L(1, -1) and M(3, 2)
LM = √(2-(-1))²+(3-1)²
LM = √(2+1)²+(2)²
LM = √3²+(2)²
LM = √9+4
LM = √13
Area of the triangle LMN = 1/2 * √13 * √5
Area of the triangle LMN = √65/2 square units
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
