Answer: A) (4, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You can plot the given points (-2,-2) and (4,-2), as you can see in the first graph attached.

2. The formula for calculate the area of a triangle is:

A=\frac{bh}{2}

Where<em> b</em> is the base and <em>h</em> is the height.

3. As you can see in the first graph, the lenght of the base is:

b=6units

So, you must solve for the heigth:

h=\frac{2A}{b}=\frac{2(24units^{2})}{6units}=8units

3. Add 8 to the y-coordinate of both points given in the problem to know the coordinates of the other vertex:

(-2,-2+8)=(-2,6) (This is not an option)

(4,-2+8)=(4,6) (Option A. This is the answer).

4. Then, the triangle is shown in the second graph.

1. Complete the inequality below to describe the
dezoksy [38]

Domain is the entire span left to right (on the x-axis) that the graph is on. Since the graph goes from x=-4 and ends at x=4, the domain would be from -4 to 4. The circle at -4 is open, so it does not include the point at -4, just everything leading up to it. So, the domain would be

- 4 < x \leqslant 4

The range is similar, it is the entire span that the graph goes up and down (on the y-axis). The graph starts at the bottom at y=-2, and ends at y=5. The bottom point (4,-2) is closed, so the graph includes that point, and the top point (-4,5) is open and doesn't include the point. Therefore, the range would be

- 2 \leqslant x < 5

Answer:

(-5,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the first equation by -2,and multiply the second equation by 1.

−2(x+5y=20)

1(2x−7y=−45)

Becomes:

−2x−10y=−40

2x−7y=−45

Add these equations to eliminate x:

−17y=−85

Then solve−17y=−85for y:

(Divide both sides by -17)

y=5

x+5y=20

Substitute  5 for y in x+5y=20:

x+(5)(5)=20

x+25=20(Simplify both sides of the equation)

x+25+−25=20+−25(Add -25 to both sides)

x=-5
