Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Basically, the problem is asking to make an triangle but without labeling its sides as number, but as algebraic expression.
So, let's say that all three sides are
Now, remember that the perimeter is the sum of all sides of a figure, so in this case would be
To simplify this expression, we just need to reduce like terms as follows
Therefore, the simplified expression of the perimeter is
The image attached shows the triangle we used.

Answer:
The required equation of the graph with the coordinates of (4, -1) will be:
The graph is also attached.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the coordinates (4, -1)
If we put the coordinate values (4, -1) in the given equations, we determine that only is the valid equation as it satisfies the given coordinate value.
For example, putting (4, -1) in the equation
So, the equation is true for the coordinate values (4, -1).
Therefore, the required equation of the graph with the coordinates of (4, -1) will be:
Please check, the graph is also attached.
Keeping in mind that the area of a rectangle is simply width * length, if we get the area of the larger rectangle, and then subtract the area of the smaller rectangle, we're in effect making a hole in the larger rectangle's area and thus what's leftover is the shaded area.
