Answer:

y=2x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this you first have to calculate the slope of the parallel line, since that would be equal to the slope of our line:

Slope=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

Now we insert the values into the formula:

Slope=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}\\Slope=\frac{5-7}{1-2}\\Slope= \frac{-2}{-1}\\ Slope:2

And remember that the formula for general line is:

Y-y1= M(x-x1)\\y-9=2(x-8=\\y=2x-16+9\\y=2x-7

So the equation for the line passing through point 8,9 and parallel to the line joining 2,7 and 1,5 would be y=2x-7

Answer:

2x - y - 7 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the slope of parallel line are same.

So, we can easily use formula,

y - y₁ = m ( x ₋ x₁)

where, (x₁, y₁) = (8, 9)

and m is a slope of line passing through (x₁, y₁).

and since the slope of parallel lines are same, so here we use slope of parallel line for calculation.

and, Slope = m = \dfrac{y_{b}-y_{a}}{x_{b}-x_{a}}

here, (xₐ, yₐ) = (2, 7)

and, (y_{a},y_{b}) = (1, 5 )

⇒ m = \dfrac{5-7}{1-2}

⇒ m = 2

Putting all values above formula. We get,

y - 9 = 2 ( x ₋ 8)

⇒ y - 9 = 2x - 16

⇒ 2x - y - 7 = 0

which is required equation.

To find the area of a triangle, you multiply the base times the height and multiply it by 2.
In order to find the height, you need to do this in reverse.
1.multiply 24x2
2. Find possible multiples.
3. 4x12=48, 12(the base) is three times four, and 48/2 is 24.
Answer: the height of the triangle is 4
