Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
‘a’ in this question is the slope of the line. Slope is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) for any two points. We can see the line intersects the point (0,0) and (-10/9) so the slope is -10/9 which is less than -1 so
a<-1
let's say
A(-3,1) B(-3,5) C(4,1)
we need to find the perimeter of ABC for that we find each of the sides
AB BC and AC
there is a formula to find the distance between 2 poins
let's say that a point has the structure A(x1,y1) where x=-3 and y=1 and B(x2,y2) where x2=-3 and y2=5
AB=
AB=
AB=
AB=4
we do the same thing for AC and BC
AC=
AC=
AC=7
BC=
BC=
BC=
BC=
The perimeter is equal to the sum of the sides
P=AB+AC+BC=4+7+
=11+
3 meters is the same thing as 12/4 meters so divide 12/4 by 3/4 to get 4.
