Could be y=8x + 16?
The gradient is 8 bcause each time x increases by one y increases by 8
<span>(-6,0) would be correct </span>
Heyy lol :) I’m bored as heck but yeah
The slope of this line is -2.
rise/run
rise = 4
run = -2
4
------- = -2
-2
Using the points (1,0) & (0,2)
2 - 0 2
----------- = ----- = -2
0 - 1 -1
Where's the "triangle with alt. BD?" This problem can be solved without the diagram, but the solution would be easier with it.
BD is the altitude. Find the length of BD by finding the dist. between (-1,4) and (2,4); it is 2-(-1), or 3. |BD| = 3.
I've graphed the triangle myself and have found that the "base" of the triangle is the vertical line thru (2,1) and (2,6); its length is 6-1, or 5.
Thus, the area of this triangle is A = (b)(h) / 2, or A = (5)(3) / 2 = 10/3 square inches.
