The area of the right triangle =

b = base = SV = 12.3
h = hight = HL = 24.6
A = area

Answer: option B is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + c
Where c = intercept
Slope, m =change in value of y on the vertical axis / change in value of x on the horizontal axis represent
change in the value of y = y2 - y1
Change in value of x = x2 -x1
y2 = final value of y
y 1 = initial value of y
x2 = final value of x
x1 = initial value of x
The line passes through (- 5, - 2) and (3, - 1),
y2 = - 1
y1 = - 2
x2 = 3
x1 = - 5
Slope,m = (- 1 - - 2)/(3 - - 5) = 1/8
To determine the intercept, we would substitute x = 3, y = - 1 and
m = 1/8 into y = mx + c. It becomes
- 1 = 1/8 × 3 + c
- 1 = 3/8 + c
c = - 1 - 3/8 = - 11/8
The equation becomes
y = x/8 - 11/8
Let's say "m" is the manufactoring cost per drill (in dollars).
Then the manufactorer sells it for $4 more, so this would be:
m+4
Then the chain store sells it for 140% of the price is paid the manufactorer, so this would be "140% of (m+4)" which translates to "1.4•(m+4)" or more simply:
1.4(m+4)
P(m) = 1.4(m+4), where m is the initial manufactoring cost (in dollars).
Simplifying, you could rewrite this as:
P(m) = 1.4m + 5.6
8-2.5 is 5.5 because when you subtract 2 from 6 you get 6b and when you subtract .5 from 6 you get 5.5
