Given:
Triangle base: 8 yards
Triangle height: 3 yards

The area of a triangle is solved using this formula:

Area = (height * base) / 2

Using the given data:

Area of a triangle = (3 yards * 8 yards)/2
Area of a triangle = 24 square yards / 2
Area of a triangle = 12 square yards.

The area of the given triangle is 12 square yards.

The equation for area of a triangle is given below.

Area of Triangle = 0.5*Base*Height

Since we are given that the base is 8 yards and height is 3 yards...

Area of Triangle = 0.5 * 8 yards * 3 yards = 12 yards^2

Which equation shows the point slope form of the line that passes through (5,1) and has a slope of 1/2

Answer:

3rd option, $y-1 = \frac{1}{2} (x-5)$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out which option is correct, we can write the equation in point-slope form ourselves.

Use the point-slope formula $y-y_1 = m (x-x_1)$ to write the equation in point-slope form. Substitute the $m$ , $x_1$ , and $y_1$ for real values.

Since $m$ represents the slope, substitute $\frac{1}{2}$ in its place. Since $x_1$ and $y_1$ represent the x and y values of a point the line intersects, substitute the x and y values of (5,1) into the formula as well. Substitute 5 for $x_1$ and 1 for $y_1$ . This gives the following equation:
