Since it says less than, the 5 would be the second part of the expression
= 3L - 5
7. y=-3/2x+8 (3rd answer choice)
substitute
-4=-3/2(8)+b
-4=-24/2 +b
-4=-12+b
+12 both sides
8=b
so equation would be...
y=-3/2x+8 (3rd answer choice)
8. y=-5x-17 (2nd answer choice)
substitute
-2=-5(-3)+b
-2=15+b
-15 both sides
-17=b
so the equation would be...
y=-5x-17 (2nd answer choice)
check your work by substituting each (x,y) value into the final equations if you want. hope this helps :))
Answer:
Hey there!
For the first question we use the triangle area formula: 1/2bh, or 1/2(8)(5). This gives us 20 for the area.
For the second question we get a trapezoid, since the cross section does not pass through the vertex.
Hope this helps :)
