Answer:
A = 33 1/3 ft²
It's the one you picked lol
Is this a riddle?? Or are you really doing this :-(
First we put the equation in y = mx + b form where m is ur slope and b is ur y int.
2x - 5y = 10
-5y = -2x + 10
y = 2/5x - 2.......so ur slope is 2/5 and ur y int is (0,-2) <==
to find ur x int, sub in 0 for y and solve for x
2x - 5y = 10
2x - 5(0) = 10
2x = 10
x = 10/2
x = 5......and ur x int is (5,0) <==
another way to find the y int is to sub in 0 for x and solve for y...but u might as well solve it by putting it in y = mx + b form because that way u have ur slope as well.
1. Start with y=sx+m and input the slope of the line given, because the two lines are parallel they have the same slope. Then input the X and Y coordinates of point X to get 10=-1/2-5+m and finally solve the equation to get m=-7.5 or -15/2 making slope intercept form Y=-1/2-5-15/2
2. Follow the same instructions imputing 1/2 in as the slope because it is perpendicular to the line. so you get 10=1/2-5+m. solve to get m=7.5 or 15/2 making the final equation Y=1/2X+15/2
