If QP=25, MN=35, and SR=13, calculate the area of LMN.

5 0

The two triangles are similar. When two figures are similar, the ratios of the lengths of their corresponding sides are equal. We use this fact in order to calculate the height of the bigger triangle. We do as follows:

QP / SL = MN / SL+SR
25 / SL = 35 / SL + 13
SL = 32.5

Area = height x base / 2
Area = SL x MN / 2
Area = 32.5 x 35 / 2 = 568.75

To find the rate of change, or slope, pick two points. The slope, is change in y coordinates over change in x coordinates.
$slope = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$ .

In this case, the slope is
$\frac{-11+1}{2-0} = \frac{-10}{2} = -5$ .
Remember that subtracting a negative number equals adding the number without the negative sign.
a-(-b) = a+b

Now for the y-intercept. The y-intercept is where the graph intersects the y-axis, where x = 0.
You have the coordinate (0, -1), where x = 0. So the y-intercept is -1.

Putting these values into the slope-intercept form y = mx+b, the equation is
y = -5x - 1
