The smaller triangle is 1/6 the size of the large one ( 5/30 = 1/

Area is squared 1/6 ^2 = 1/36

Multiply the area of the large triangle by 1/36:

270 x 1/36 = 270 /36 = 7.5

The area is 7.5 cm^2

The answer is A.

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line described by (−1, −1), parallel to y = −2x − 4

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

y = -2x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form of line is

y = mx + c

where

m is the slope and c is the y intercept

________________________________________

Given that line

y = −2x − 4

comparing it with y = mx + c

m = -2 and c = -4

Thus, slope of this line is -2

we also know that when two lines are parallel then their slopes are same

thus, slope of required line will be m = -2

___________________________________________

now let the equation of line passing through (-1,-1) be

y = mx + c

we have found m to be -2

using this in above equation we have

y = -2x + c

since (-1,-1) passes through the above line using x = -1 and y = -1

we have

-1 = -2*-1 + c

-1 = 2 + c

c = -1 - 2 = -3

using c = -3 in y = -2x + c

we have

equation of line as

y = -2x - 3 in slope intercept form.

Answer:

5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius is the distance from the centre of the circle to a point on the circumference.

Use the distance formula to calculate the radius r

r = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, 5)

r = $\sqrt{(1+3)^2+(5-2)^2}$

= $\sqrt{4^2+3^2}$

= $\sqrt{16+9}$

= $\sqrt{25}$ = 5

Answer:

x= - 3.5

y= - 6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x+y = 4 equation 1

-9x + 5y = -1 equation 2

and

equation 1 can be written as

y = 4+ 3x

so put this in equation 2

-9x + 5 ( 4+ 3x) = -1

-9x +20 +15x = -1

6x = -21

X= -21 ÷ 6

X = - 3.5

so put this value of x in equation 1 to find value of y

-3 ( -3.5) + y = 4

10.5 + y = 4

y = 4 - 10.5

Y = - 6.5
