2x-4y=-16
ax+4y=6 +
--------------------
2x+ax=-10; for x=-2,
2(-2)+a(-2)=-10
-2a=-10+4
a=-6/-2
a=3
Area of the shaded region=area of the greater rectangle- area of the inner rectangle.
Area of a rectangle=length x width.
Area of the greater rectangle=(8x-1)(6x)
area of the inner rectangle=(5x+3)(2x)
Area of the shaded region=(8x-1)(6x)-(5x+3)(2x)
=48x²-6x-(10x²+6x)
=48x²-6x-10x²-6x
=38x²-12x
Answer: the area of the shaded region would be: 38x²-12x
If you're completing the square the answer is in the image.
expression
x^2 + 5x - 5=ax^2+bx+c
a=1, b=5, c=-5, and you can solve it that way.
Line of symmetry is the line which cuts the figure into two same halves
or we can say that which passes through the figure such that it makes one half the mirror image of the other half
So we can see from the figure that y=-2 is the line which cuts the figure in to equal halves
So
y=-2
Third option
Point c is quadrant 2,point T is quadrant 1,point R is x axis , point h is quadrant 3
