Answer:

y=\frac{5}{7}x+\frac{135}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

You only need two points on a line to find the equation for that line.

We are going to use 2 points that cross that line or at least come close to. You don't have to use the green points... just any point on the line will work.  You might have to approximate a little.

I see ~(67.5,67.5) and ~(64,65).

Now once you have your points, we need to find the slope.

You may use \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} where (x_1,y_1) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2) are points on the line.

Or you can line up the points vertically and subtract then put 2nd difference over 1st difference.

Like this:

(  64  ,   65  )

-( 67.5, 67.5 )

--------------------

-3.5        -2.5

So the slope is -2.5/-3.5=2.5/3.5=25/35=5/7.

Now use point-slope form to find the equation:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1) where m is the slope and (x_1,y_1) is a point on the line.

y-65=\frac{5}{7}(x-64)

Distribute:

y-65=\frac{5}{7}x-\frac{5}{7}\cdot 64

Simplify:

y-65=\frac{5}{7}x-\frac{320}{7}

Add 65 on both sides:

y=\frac{5}{7}x-\frac{320}{7}+65

Simplify:

y=\frac{5}{7}x+\frac{135}{7}

HELP!! URGENT!! GIVING AWAY 50 POINTS to correct answer!!
NNADVOKAT [17]

The figure seems like its a parallelogram.

In a parallelogram :
Opposite sides are equal and
Opposite angles are equal
Hence, The side opposite to 9in. is equal to 9in. and the side opposite to 10in. is equal to 10in.

Area of the figure =b×h
= 8×10
=80in.sq.
