P(7,6), Q(1,6), R(4,2)
We have PQ parallel to the x axis. We'll call that the base,
b = 7 - 1 = 6
The altitude is then the y difference h = 6 - 2 = 4
The area is 
Answer: 12 square units
In general we can use the shoelace formula for the area of any polygon given coordinates. We write the points like this:
(7,6), (1,6), (4,2)
(1,6), (4,2), (7,6)
The area is then half the absolute value of the sum of the cross products:

Answer:
y = -5x Y8
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines have the same slope.
Your function is
y = 9 − 5x = -5x+ 9
slope = -5
The parallel line
The line must have slope = -5 and include (0, 8), so
8 = -5×(0) + b
8 = 0 + b
b = 8
The equation for the parallel line is
y = -5x + 8
In the diagram below, the red line is the graph of y = 9 -5x.
The parallel blue line is the graph of y = -5x + 8.
Answer:
-5/3 is less than (<) square root of 3
Step-by-step explanation:
-5/3 = -1.66666...
square root of 3=1.73205080...
either way the square root would be greater because the answer cant be negative. And negative is always less then a positive.
Hope this helps!
