Answer:

The Area of the rectangle is 36

Step-by-step explanation:

One can use the vertices of the rectangle in coordinate form, by observing that (please see image attached):

(1) the distance between x-coordinates that share the same y-value give the length of the segments that define the horizontal sides of the rectangle,

(2) and the distance between y-coordinates that share the same x-value give the length of the segments that define the vertical sides of the rectangle,

Therefore, as an example of statement (1) above, the distance between the x-coordinates of : (-4,-3) and (-1,-3) which share the same "y-value" -3, is:

| -1 - (-4)| = |-1+4| = |3| = 3 which is the length of the horizontal side of the rectangle (the base of the rectangle).

As an example of statement (2), the distance between the y-coordinates of: ((-1,-3, and (-1,9) which share the same "x-value" -1, is:

| 9-(-3)| = |9+3|=|12|=12 which is the length of the vertical side of the rectangle (the height of the rectangle).

So, the area of the rectangle which is defined as the product of its base times its height, is given by:

Area=base\,*\.height\,= 3\,*\,12\,= 36

Laura left Dunkin Donuts at 1 PM traveling 30 mph. Two hours later her friend Jen left the same Dunkin Donuts and started after
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

It took Jen 4 hours to catch up with Laura

Step-by-step explanation:

Gaining speed 45-30= 15 mph

Laura's head start 30×2=60 miles

Time for Jen to catch up 60÷15= 4 hours

In other words

30(t+2)= 45t

30t+60= 45t

60=45t-30t

60= 15t

t=4 hours

Graph g(x)=2+|x| and it’s parent functions
matrenka [14]

The parent function is ...

... f(x) = |x|

This is the absolute value function, equal x when x ≥ 0, and equal to -x when x < 0. Its graph has the shape of a V with the vertex at the origin and "legs" of slope ±1.

The function g(x) is the same function with 2 added. The addition of 2 moves every value of f(x) up 2 units, so translates the whole graph upward by 2 units.

What is the slope of the line shown below?
Harman [31]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is often called rise/run.

This is the amount the line goes upwards, rise, compared to the amount it goes sideways, run.  

Compare the two shown points.  From the left point the the right, the rise is 6, while the run is 3, creating the rise/run of 6/3.  This is simplified to 2.
