You can use it to find the area of a right triangle because a right triangle is basically a rectangle cut in half diagonally. However, this formula does not apply to all triangles because those that are not right triangles don't have a base or height, they're not really a rectangle. Because the formula for a rectangle's area is bxh, a right triangle is half of that. I hope this made sense and was helpful. :)
In an equation where the order is y = mx + b, the slope is m or the coefficient of x.
In this case, all choices gives you the easy form. Just by looking at the coefficients, we can tell that B is the answer.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the first investment be x
and second be 3000-x
so 3%of x + 4% of (3000-x) = 107
By solving x = 1300
First investment is 1300
second investment is 1700
Slope is change in y over change in x, or (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). Pick two points, and the change in the y-coordinates over the change in x-coordinates is the slope.
