What is the area of a triangle with vertices at (−4, 1) , (−7, 5) , and (0, 1) ?

1 answer:

3 0

Plot the points on a graph. Connect the dots into a triangle. See that the height of the triangle is from y=5 down to y=1. So the height is 4 units.
Area of a triangle: A = (1/2)BH

You need to find the length of the base. Which is from point (-4,1) to (0,1). You can use the distance formula r just see from the graph that the base is 4 units.

A = (1/2)(4)(4)
A = 8

** Distance formula fyi
d² = (X-x)² + (Y-y)²
with points (X,Y) and (x,y)

solmaris [256]

Answer:

1600 items should not be defective

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the number of items that are not defective, we multiply the number of items we have by the probability that they are not defective.

Not defective items = items * probability

The correct answer is B) y = 120000x + 420000.

We multiply 120,000 by x since that is the cost per person per day, and x is the number of days. We add 420,000 because that is the one time cost of the round trip airfare.
