Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a line parallel to the equation would have the same slope (7/8)
so what we know so far is
y = 7/8x + b
since it has to go through point C (-4, 8)
we’ll plug in those values for x and y (x = -4, y = 8)
8 = 7/8(-4) + b
8 = -28/8 + b
8 = -3.5 + b
b = 11.5
so the equation is
y = 7/8x + 11.5
To solve for the area of the triangle
Use the formula 1/2(base *height)
1/2 * 17* 4
68/2
34
I believe the area of the triangle is therefore 34ft
Answer:
x= 1325 ft (nearest foot)
