For this problem, you would use the slope formula, or m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1). So, let's put in what we know.
The x's and y's correspond with our coordinates. So let's plug that in:
m=(6-0)/(2-0)
m=(6)/(2)
m=3
So, the slope of your line is 3.
E because 8*8=64 so 8/49*8/49 = 64/49
A - 2 1/2 = 1 1/2
Solve for A by adding 2 1/2 to both sides:
A = 1 1/2 + 2 1/2
A = 4
The answer is c. A = 4
Check: 4 - 2 1/2 = 1 1/2
