Explanation:

The easiest way to do this is to make use of the 2-point form of the equation for a line. For points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), the equation is ...

  y=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)+y_1

Filling in your given points, the equation becomes ...

  y=\dfrac{7-1}{\frac{-7}{2}-\frac{9}{2}}(x-\frac{9}{2})+1

After you fill in the values, it is a matter of simplifying the resulting equation.

y=\dfrac{6}{\frac{-16}{2}}(x-\frac{9}{2})+1=\dfrac{-12}{16}(x-\frac{9}{2})+1=-\dfrac{3}{4}x+\left(\dfrac{-3}{4}\cdot\dfrac{-9}{2}\right)+1\\\\y=-\dfrac{3}{4}x+\dfrac{27+8}{8}\\\\y=-\dfrac{3}{4}x+\dfrac{35}{8}

Answer:

A = (16π - 8) cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The shaded area is trhe area of the circle minus rthe area of the truiangle,.

A = πr^2 - bh/2

A = π(4 cm)^2 - (4 cm)(4 cm)/2

A = 16π cm^2 - 8 cm^2

A = (16π - 8) cm^2
