Answer:
y = -3x + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line
y = mx + c
y - intercept point y
m - slope of the line
x - intercept point x
c - intercept point of the line
Step 1: find the slope
m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
Given two points
( 1 , 4) ( 2 , 1)
x1 = 1
y1 = 4
x2 = 2
y2 = 1
insert the values
m = 1 - 4 / 2 - 1
m = -3/1
m = -3
y = -3x + c
Step 2: substitute any of the two points given into the equation of a line
y = -3x + c
( 1 ,4)
x = 1
y = 4
4 = -3(1) + c
4 = -3 + c
4 + 3 = c
c = 7
Step 3: sub c into the equation
y = -3x + 7
The equation of the line is
y = -3x + 7
This sequence is arithmetic, because each number is the last number plus two.

Answer:
- base: 2.18 m
- height: 7.35 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Let b represent the base of the triangle in meters. Then the height is ...
h = 3 +2b
and the area is ...
A = 1/2bh
8 = 1/2(b)(3 +2b)
16 = 3b +2b^2 . . . . . . . multiply by 2 and eliminate parentheses
2(b^2 +3/2b + (9/16)) = 16 + 9/8 . . . . . . complete the square
2(b +3/4)^2 = 17.125
(b +3/4)^2 = 8.5625 . . . . . divide by 2
b + 0.75 = √8.5625 ≈ 2.9262
b = -0.75 +2.9262 = 2.1762
h = 3 +2b = 7.3523
The base is about 2.18 meters and the height is about 7.35 meters.
