1/2, 8/18 = 4/9, which is close to 4/8 wich is equal to 1/2
Answer:
y=3/7x
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel means same slope.
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-0=3/7(x-0)
y=3/7(x)+0
y=3/7x
1)
Area of bigger rectangle
A = (x+1)(x+1) = x^2 + 2x + 1
2)
Area of smaller rectangle
A = 5(x - 7) = 5x - 35
3)
The difference:
(x^2 + 2x + 1) - (5x - 35)
= x^2 + 2x + 1 - 5x +35
= x^2 - 3x + 36
area of the shaded region = x^2 - 3x + 36
