A triangle with vertices located at (−2, −2) and (4, −2) has an area of 24 square units. Which is one possible location of the o

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer: A) (4, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You can plot the given points (-2,-2) and (4,-2), as you can see in the first graph attached.

2. The formula for calculate the area of a triangle is:

$A=\frac{bh}{2}$

Where<em> b</em> is the base and <em>h</em> is the height.

3. As you can see in the first graph, the lenght of the base is:

$b=6units$

So, you must solve for the heigth:

$h=\frac{2A}{b}=\frac{2(24units^{2})}{6units}=8units$

3. Add 8 to the y-coordinate of both points given in the problem to know the coordinates of the other vertex:

(-2,-2+8)=(-2,6) (This is not an option)

(4,-2+8)=(4,6) (Option A. This is the answer).

4. Then, the triangle is shown in the second graph.

A linear function is a function that creates a straight line when graphed. The difference between this graph and others is that this function is constant instead of curved. I’d like to see an example of this in the real world as a relationship between profit and merchandise.A quadratic function is a function that has multiple variables allowing the graph to curve. The difference between this function and the others is that this function is squared allowing for a greater curve that looks like a U. I’d like to see a example of this in the real world as missiles being launched since the curve is similar.A exponential function is a function in which the function grows at a fast rate. The difference between this function and the others is that this function curves in a constant rate then the x increases continuously. I’d like to see an example of this in the real world as the interest in a bank since it increases per month.

In one day, there are two high tides and two low tides in equally spaced intervals. The high tide is observed to be 6 feet above

creativ13 [48]

Answer: The "independent variable" is the "time" (in hours) that is plotted on the "x-axis". Note the "time" (in hours) can be "manipulated" in the sense that is it "chosen" by the humans who are measuring the data (e.g. when to start, how many hours, and at what intervals.

The "dependent variable" is the measurement (in feet) above or below the sea level, and this is plotted on the "y-axis". These values cannot be "manipulated" in the sense that one cannot "choose" what value or measurement the tide level would be at any particular time.

Hope these answers—and explanations—are of help to you.
Best wishes!
