Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
let f(x) = y and rearrange making x the subject
y = ( multiply both sides by 7 to clear the fraction )
7y = x + 2 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
7y - 2 = x
Change y back into terms of x with x the inverse function, that is
p(x) = 7x - 2
P(7,6), Q(1,6), R(4,2)
We have PQ parallel to the x axis. We'll call that the base,
b = 7 - 1 = 6
The altitude is then the y difference h = 6 - 2 = 4
The area is
Answer: 12 square units
In general we can use the shoelace formula for the area of any polygon given coordinates. We write the points like this:
(7,6), (1,6), (4,2)
(1,6), (4,2), (7,6)
The area is then half the absolute value of the sum of the cross products:
