Question

What is the area of the triangle? no links just the answer plz.

Answer 1

Answer:

A = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Base = |-2-(-7)| = |-2+7| = 5

equation of the line that includes the base

x = 6 (because it is parallel to y axis)

the height passes to the point (-4,-4) and must be perpendicular to the base

the equation of the line of the base hasn’t the slope expressed, so the line of the height has a slope equal to 0

so the equation of the line is y= -4

the point (6,-4) is where the two lines intercept and it is the point where the height hit  the base

height = |-4-6| = 10

A = (base x height)/2 = (5x10)/2 = 25
