Answer:

The base = 4 units and the height = 3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets remember the rule of the distance between 2 points

- The two points are (x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2)

∴ The distance = √[(x2 - x1)²+(y2 - y1)²]

* The vertices of the triangles are (-3 , 4) , (1 , 4) , (1 , 1)

- If two points have the same y-coordinate

∴ The line joining the to point is horizontal

∴ Its length = x2 - x1

- Because √[(x2 - x1)²+(y2 - y1)²] and y2 = y1

∴ d = √(x2 - x1)² ⇒ cancel power 2 with the radical sign

∴ d = x2 - x1

* Similar you can find the vertical distance

- If two points have the same x-coordinate

∴ The line joining the to point is vertical

- Its length = y2 - y1

∵ The points (-3 , 4) , (1 , 4) have same y-coordinate

∴ This side of the triangle is horizontal

∴ Its length = 1 - -3 = 4

∵ The points (1 , 4) , (1 , 1) have same x-coordinate

∴ This side of the triangle is vertical line

∴ Its length = 4 - 1 = 3

* The two sides of the triangle are ⊥

∴ One of them is the base of the triangle and the other is the height

* The base = 4 units and the height = 3 units

Fill in the table using this function rule. y=-3x-3 ​
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

When x = -2, y = 3

When x = -1, y = 0

When x = 0, y = -3

When x = 1, y = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

y = -3x - 3

Fill in the table using the following value for x

When x = -2

y = -3x - 3

y = -3(-2) - 3

y = 6 - 3

y = 3

When x = -2, y = 3

When x = -1

y = -3x - 3

y = -3(-1) - 3

y = 3 - 3

y = 0

When x = -1, y = 0

When x = 0

y = -3x - 3

y = -3(0) - 3

y = 0 - 3

y = -3

When x = 0, y = -3

When x = 1

y = -3x - 3

y = -3(1) - 3

y = -3 - 3

y = -6

When x = 1, y = -6
