Where's the "triangle with alt. BD?" This problem can be solved without the diagram, but the solution would be easier with it.
BD is the altitude. Find the length of BD by finding the dist. between (-1,4) and (2,4); it is 2-(-1), or 3. |BD| = 3.
I've graphed the triangle myself and have found that the "base" of the triangle is the vertical line thru (2,1) and (2,6); its length is 6-1, or 5.
Thus, the area of this triangle is A = (b)(h) / 2, or A = (5)(3) / 2 = 10/3 square inches.
Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
1 plus 2 equals three
Answer:
{x,y} = {-2,2}
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve equation [2] for the variable y
7y = 7x + 28
y = x + 4
Plug this in for variable y in equation [1]
-8x + 4•(x +4) = 24
-4x = 8
Solve equation [1] for the variable x
4x = - 8
x = - 2
By now we know this much :
x = -2
y = x+4
Use the x value to solve for y
y = (-2)+4 = 2
Solution :
{x,y} = {-2,2}
and this intersects at only one point so your answer is A
