Answer:

  -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearranging this equation to slope-intercept form, we see the slope (x-coefficient) is 2:

  2x = 7 + y . . . . . add y

  y = 2x -7 . . . . . . subtract 7

The slope of the perpendicular line is the opposite of the reciprocal of this:

  -1/2 = slope of perpendicular

Find the area of the trapezoid.<br> Answer options: 8sqrt2, 4sqrt3, 12.0, 16sqrt2
Elis [28]

Answer:

=  8sqrt2

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a trapezium is given by the formula;

1/2(a+b)h ;

Where a and b are the parallel sides and h is the perpendicular height.

a = 3 cm, b= 5 cm

To get; h, we use the Pythagoras theorem;

h² = 3² - 1²

   h² = 8

h = √8

  = √4√2

 = 2√2

Thus;

Area = 1/2(3 +5) 2√2

         = 1/2 ×8 × 2√2

       <u>  = 8√2 cm² or  8sqrt2 cm²</u>
