So, pretend this is your x-axis and y-axis:
I
I
(-2,7) • I
I
I • (2, 5)
I
I
I
I
_________________I____________________
I
I

TO GET FROM POINT (-2, 7) TO POINT (2, 5), WE MOVE DOWN 2 AND OVER 4, SO THE SLOPE IS -1/2. IF WE FOLLOW THAT SLOPE AND MOVE DOWN 1 AND OVER 2 FROM THE FIRST POINT OF (-2, 7), WE WILL LAND ON A POINT LOCATED AT (0, 6), WHICH WOULD BE THE "Y-INTERCEPT". WE WERE JUST ABLE TO CALCULATE THE SLOPE OF THE LINE AND THEN USE THE SLOPE TO FIND THE INTERCEPT. SO, THE "SLOPE-INTERCEPT" FORM OF THE EQUATION FOR THIS LINE IS:
y = -1/2x + 6
TO RE-WRITE THIS IN STANDARD FORM, WE JUST WANT TO MOVE THE X VARIABLE OVER TO THE LEFT WITH THE Y VARIABLE, SO:
y = -1/2x + 6
+1/2x + 1/2x
1/2x + y = 6 .... and that is your answer!
To find the area of a circle, you do π × diameter (in this case 10). They have told you to use 3.142 as π, so you do 3.142 × 10 = 31.42. Because it's a semi-circle, you need to halve 31.42 to get 16.21, which is the answer
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
270 in^2
Discussion:
Area of rectangular floor = length * width
= 15 * 18
= 270
Thank you,

If it starts with 0.12 it is false.
But if it starts with 0.009 it is true.
