What's the area of this triangle? please help

Mathematics

Let's just quickly note that the area of a triangle is base*height/2
So let's use XY as the base and use Z for the height
The base, or length of XY is 9 because the x values are the same(-5) and the y values are 9 apart(-1-(-10)=9)
Thus we now know our base is 9.
Now let's figure out the height.
In the graph, draw a perpendicular line from Z to line XY. You will find that the length of the line drawn is actually the change in X from Z to X or Y.
Thus, the change of X between -9 and -5 is 4 because -5-(-9)=4.

Before I continue, I want to note that it could be -9-(-5)=-4 but it really doesn't matter because we are trying to find the distance between the tho points and distance can't be negative.

Now to continue:
We have the height, which is 4 units, and we have the length, which is 9 units. Thus we plug this into our formula to get A=H*B/2=4*9/2=18 units^2

The graphs of $f$ and $g$ are shown. Describe two different transformations from the graph of $f$ to the graph of $g$ . 2 lines
zhenek [66]

Let's convert the word descriptions into mathematical equations first for illustration.

f(x) = x^2 - x - 12

g(x) = -2.5x - 2

Then, we equate g(x) and f(x). The final equation becomes

x^2 - x - 12 = -2.5x - 2

Then, we simplify by transposing and combining like terms.

x^2 - x + 2.5x -12 + 2 = 0

x^2 + 1.5x - 10 = 0

Since this is a quadratic equation, we find the roots by using the quadratic formula

where a = 1, b = 1.5 and c=-10

Thus, the answer is x = 2.5, -4.

What the answer to this math problem 6x-8=4(x+2)-7 ?
faust18 [17]

Answer:

x = 9/2

Step-by-step explanation:

6x - 8 = 4(x + 2) - 7

Distribute on the right side.

6x - 8 = 4x + 8 - 7

Combine like terms on the right side.

6x - 8 = 4x + 1

Add 8 to both sides. Subtract 4x from both sides.

2x = 9

Divide both sides by 2.

x = 9/2
