Solution:
<u>Note that:</u>
- Area of triangle = 6 3/8 yd²
- Height of triangle = 2 1/2
- Area of triangle = 1/2 x base x altitude
<u>Use the formula to find the base of the triangle.</u>
- 1/2 x base x altitude = 6 3/8 yd²
- => 1/2 x base x 2 1/2 = 6 3/8 yd²
- => 1/2 x base x 5/2 = 6 3/8 yd²
- => 5/4 x base = 6 3/8 yd²
- => base = 6 3/8 ÷ 5/4 yd
- => base = 51/8 x 4/5 yd
- => base = 51/2 x 1/5 yd
- => base = 51/10 yd
The length of the base is 51/10 yards.
Answer:
The equation would be y + 1 = 3(x + 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the equation of this line, we have to use the slope formula to find the slope.
m (slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (3 - -3)/(2 - 0)
m = (3 + 3)/(2 - 0)
m = 6/2
m = 3
Now that we have that, we can use it along with the second point to put into the point-slope equation.
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - -1= 3(x - -1)
y + 1 = 3(x + 1)
I would solve it for B, but that's just what I think. So you would do -12 time -2 which is 24, then subtract 24 from both sides so that you would get B=-31
