Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. set the equation for the area of each shape equal to each other
2. simplify each side until you get 
3. subtract 16 from both sides which will give you 
4. subtract 3x from both sides which will give you the value of x. 
5. check that
is correct by plugging it into the equations
triangle:

rectangle:

the areas are the same
Answer:
true because if it's positive it's greater than zero
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
12) y=3x-15
14) y=-1/2x
16) y=13x-105
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines always have the same slopes but different y-intercepts. So, we can make the equation (b is y-intercept of new equation):
12) y=3x+b
14) y=-1/2x+b
16) y=13x+b
now, we can plug in each of the coordinates given to these equations.
12) (4,-3): 4 is x, -3 is y.
-3=3(4)+b
simplify: b= -15
14) (-4,2): -4 is x, 2 is y
2=-1/2(-4)+b
simplify: b=0
16) (9,12): 9 is x, 12 is y
12=13(9)+b
simplify: b=-105
Now, plug in those numbers to your equation for b value.
12) y=3x-15
14) y=-1/2x
16) y=13x-105
*for 14 we don't need to write anything after -1/2x because b=0*
