A = (1/2) b * h
h = b - 5
42 = (1/2) * b * (b - 5)
42 = (1/2) * b^2 - 5b
multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction (1/2)
2(42) = 2(1/2) *b^2 - 5b
84 = b^2 -5b
Since this is a quadratic equation, subtract 84 from both sides so that it is set = to zero.
b^2 - 5b - 84 = 0
Now factor.
(b - 12)(b + 5) = 0
b - 12 = 0; b = 12
b + 5 = 0; b = -5
You can't have a negative length so the answer is 12m
To check the answer:
A = (1/2) * 12* 7
A = 42 m^2

A line intersects the points (-22, -14) and (-18, -12). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line? Y= ?/?x + [?]
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

m = ½

y = ½x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

m = (-12 + 14)/(‐18 + 22)

m = ½

y + 14 = ½(x + 22)

y = ½x + 11 - 14

y = ½x - 3
