Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions here.

y = 7x - 4x² 

<span>7x - 4x² = 0 </span>

<span>x(7 - 4x) = 0 </span>

<span>x = 0, 7/4 </span>

<span>Find the area of the bounded region... </span>

<span>A = ∫ 7x - 4x² dx |(0 to 7/4) </span>

<span>A = 7/2 x² - 4/3 x³ |(0 to 7/4) </span>

<span>A = 7/2(7/4)² - 4/3(7/4)³ - 0 = 3.573 </span>

<span>Half of this area is 1.786, now set up an integral that is equal to this area but bounded by the parabola and the line going through the origin... </span>

<span>y = mx + c </span>

<span>c = 0 since it goes through the origin </span>

<span>The point where the line intersects the parabola we shall call (a, b) </span>

<span>y = mx ===> b = m(a) </span>

<span>Slope = m = b/a </span>

<span>Now we need to integrate from 0 to a to find the area bounded by the parabola and the line... </span>

<span>1.786 = ∫ 7x - 4x² - (b/a)x dx |(0 to a) </span>

<span>1.786 = (7/2)x² - (4/3)x³ - (b/2a)x² |(0 to a) </span>

<span>1.786 = (7/2)a² - (4/3)a³ - (b/2a)a² - 0 </span>

<span>1.786 = (7/2)a² - (4/3)a³ - b(a/2) </span>

<span>Remember that (a, b) is also a point on the parabola so y = 7x - 4x² ==> b = 7a - 4a² </span>
<span>Substitute... </span>

<span>1.786 = (7/2)a² - (4/3)a³ - (7a - 4a²)(a/2) </span>

<span>1.786 = (7/2)a² - (4/3)a³ - (7/2)a² + 2a³ </span>

<span>(2/3)a³ = 1.786 </span>

<span>a = ∛[(3/2)(1.786)] </span>

<span>a = 1.39 </span>

<span>b = 7(1.39) - 4(1.39)² = 2.00 </span>

<span>Slope = m = b/a = 2.00 / 1.39 = 1.44</span>
