The correct answer is A) y = -3x - 1

In order to find this, start by using the two points on the line to find the slope.

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (-4 - 2)/(1 - -1)

m = -6/2

m = -3

Since A is the only one with a -3 slope, this is the correct answer.

The area of the trapezoid is calculated through the equation,
A = 0.5(b₁ + b₂)h
where A is area, b₁ and b₂ are the lengths of the bases and h is the height. Substituting the known values,
A = 0.5(15 m + 19 m)(10 m)
A = 170 m²
The area of the garden is 170 m².
