If it is isosceles, than the legs are the same. We will call them X. The formula for the area of a triangle is 1/2 (base * height). But the base and the height are both X. So the area (18) is equal to 1/2 (x * x), or 1/2(x^2). This means that 36 = x^2. Thus, the length of each side is 6 inches. You can check this work by plugging those into the formula for area. You will find that it equals 18.

To answer this question, an assumption must be made, that Eva spends 8 hours a day working. If this is the case, then Eva will complete jobs w, x, and v on day one, for a total of six hours. Since the next job (y) requires 4 hours, she will spend two hours working that day, leaving 2 more hours to go on that job. The next day she will spend 2 hours finishing job y, completing it, and finish the longest job z (hours) that day. This means she had 4 jobs on day one, and 2 jobs on day 2 for and average of 3 jobs per day.  
This answer assumes an 8 hour work day, and that Eva can start a job she cannot finish that day.

Which equation correctly uses point (–2, –6) to write the equation of this line in point-slope form? Y – 6 = y minus 6 equals St
Tanya [424]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard way of writing equation of a line in a point-slope form is as given;

y - y0 = m(x-x0)

m is the slope of the line

(x0,y0) is a point on the line.

Given the point (-2,-6), in order to determine with of the equation that correctly uses the point, we will substitute the point into the formula and get the necessary equation.

y - y0 = m(x-x0)

y - (-6) = m(x-(-2))

y+6 = m(x+2)

Since we are not given the slope, let's assume the slope is 5/2

The equation becomes y+6 =5/2(x+2). Option D is correct
