I’m pretty sure the answer would be “C” I’m not sure though
The distance between -2 and -1 1/2 is 1/2:
-2+1/2=-1 1/2
-1 1/2 =-1 1/2
I was trying to show my work but hope this could help you
Y = 2x +13
We know the slope to be 2 because lines that are parallel have the same slope. Then we can solve using slope-intercept form and the known point.
y = mx + b ----> Input known values
7 = (2)(-3) + b ---> Multiple
7 = -6 + b ----> Subtract 3 from both sides
13 = b
Now we can use the y-intercept found and the slope to write the equation above.
Answer:
-2, 8/3
Step-by-step explanation:
You can consider the area to be that of a trapezoid with parallel bases f(a) and f(4), and width (4-a). The area of that trapezoid is ...
A = (1/2)(f(a) +f(4))(4 -a)
= (1/2)((3a -1) +(3·4 -1))(4 -a)
= (1/2)(3a +10)(4 -a)
We want this area to be 12, so we can substitute that value for A and solve for "a".
12 = (1/2)(3a +10)(4 -a)
24 = (3a +10)(4 -a) = -3a² +2a +40
3a² -2a -16 = 0 . . . . . . subtract the right side
(3a -8)(a +2) = 0 . . . . . factor
Values of "a" that make these factors zero are ...
a = 8/3, a = -2
The values of "a" that make the area under the curve equal to 12 are -2 and 8/3.

<em>Alternate solution</em>
The attachment shows a solution using the numerical integration function of a graphing calculator. The area under the curve of function f(x) on the interval [a, 4] is the integral of f(x) on that interval. Perhaps confusingly, we have called that area f(a). As we have seen above, the area is a quadratic function of "a". I find it convenient to use a calculator's functions to solve problems like this where possible.
Y = 3/4x - 5/2....subtract 3/4x from both sides
-3/4x + y = -5/2 ....multiply everything by common denominator of 4
-3x + 4y = -10
