Let;
A(-8,6) B(6,6) C(6, -4) D(-8, -4)
Let's find the length AB
x₁= -8 y₁=6 x₂=6 y₂=6
We will use the distance formula;
Next, we will find the width BC
B(6,6) C(6, -4)
x₁= 6 y₁=6 x₂=6 y₂=-4
substitute into the distance formula;
Area = l x w
= 14 x 10
= 140 square units
Assuming we're dealing with , which is the same as writing (x+2)/(-5) < 4, then the answer is choice C.
We multiply both sides by -5 and this will flip the inequality sign.
-------------------------------------
Multiplying or dividing both sides by a negative number flips the inequality sign.
An example would be saying -2x < 10 leads to x > -5
What we can do is divide both sides by -2 and flip the inequality sign, or we could follow the steps shown below
