You find your slope with the equation
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(-1-2)/ -4-1.5)
(-3)/(-5.5)
.54x is your slope
you then plug that into your equation.
y=mx+b
y=.54x+b
you substitute one of our coordinates.
(-4,-1)
-1=.54(-4)+b
-1=-3.45+b
+3.45
2.45=b
your equation is
y=.54x+2.45
standard form
y-.54x=2.45
4.4354 rounded to 2 decimal places is 4.44
Answer:
x = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
The area (A) of a trapezium is calculated as
A =
h (b₁ + b₂ )
where h is the perpendicular height and b₁, b₂ the parallel bases
Here A = 55, h = 5. b₁ = x, b₂ = 9, then
× 5 × (x + 9) = 55
2.5(x + 9) = 55 ( divide both sides by 2.5 )
x + 9 = 22 ( subtract 9 from both sides )
x = 13
