Area of a triangle is

A = 1/2 ×base × height
A = 1/2 × 5 × 12
A = 1/2 × 60
A = 30 square inches

Paralell means has same lsope
y=mx+b
m=slope

given
y=3x-5
slope=3

y=3x+b
find b
(3,1)
x=3
y=1
sub and find b

1=3(3)+b
1=9+b
minus 9 both sides
-8=b

y=3x-8 is equation

<h3>Answer: Choice E</h3>

======================================================

Explanation:

Think of 25 as 25/1 and 5 as 5/1

Choice E is really saying $\frac{25}{1} \div \frac{5}{1}$ which becomes $\frac{25}{1} \times \frac{1}{5}$ . Note the second fraction flips and we change to a multiplication sign.
