We use the vertical side as the base: it is a vertical segment, so it's length is the difference of the y coordinates of its endpoints:
The height would be the segment starting from 
, perpendicular to the base. Since this is a horizontal segment, its length is the difference of the x coordinates of its endpoints:
So, the area is given by

is the answer
Group 'em together

Notice that there will be a 1 as without it it'll simply be ab

Notice that it doesn't match with the upper one... so we'll change the signs

(try to multiply them now!!
Jot them down in one expression

You get!!!!!!

Hello there!
For this question, we can use slope-intercept form of a line. The following equation is the format for slope-intercept form:
In this equation, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The slope and y-intercept is given. Thus, we just "plug in" the given values into the equation to get our answer. Replace "m" with "3/2" and replace "b" with "-2". After doing so, you get the following equation for the line.
That should be your answer. Hope this helps! :)

I'm pretty sure the answer is exponent since it tells you how many times to multiply the number beside it by itself.
Example:
It is NOT 3 × 4 = 12
It is 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 9 × 3 × 3 = 9 × 9 = 81

I hope that helps you out!!
Any more questions, please feel free to ask me and I will gladly help you out!!
