Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We need to use the properties shown below to solve this:
1. ![\sqrt[n]{x^a} =x^{\frac{a}{n}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7Bx%5Ea%7D%20%3Dx%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7Ba%7D%7Bn%7D%7D)
2. 
3. 
Area of a triangle is given by 1/2 * base * height, so we do that and simplify:

Plug in x into the equation. Take x= -2 for example. Your equation is 2x-5, so instead of x, you put -2.
2(-2)-5 = -9
Your table is as follows:
(-2,-9)
(-1,-7)
(0,-5)
(1,-3)
