We don't need to graph the line. All we have to do is use our slope formula.
Answer is provided in the image attached.
-2=-2y-18
2y=-18+2
2y=-16
Y=-8
Area = 1/2 base x height so you would find the area of one of the 3 larger sides which would be 12.2x6.1=74.42 then divide it by 2 which is 37.21. Then multiply it by 3 because of the other sides that are the same which gets you 111.63. Then you find the area of the bottom triangle by doing 5.3x6.1= 32.33 then divide it by 2 which is 16.165. Then you add both numbers together and you get 127.795. Answer is 127.795
In Euclidean geometry, a parallelogram is a simple quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides. The opposite or facing sides of a parallelogram are of equal length and the opposite angles of a parallelogram are of equal measure.
Hope this helps :)
