Answer:
-0.04
Step-by-step explanation:
15.49x = 13.99x + 6
15.49x - 13.99x = 6
1.50x = 6
x = 6 / 1.50
x = 4 <=== u can buy 4 DVD's for the same amount
15.49 * 4 = 61.96
13.99(4) + 6 = 61.96
from the question, (-2,2) and (1,2) have the same y value so you can use that as your base and easily find the perpendicular height using the y axis since it's parallel to the x axis.
the third point, (0,-6), to the base is your height
use the sum of the positive of the y values to find your height (because height can't be negative): 6+2 = 8
area of a triangle = 1/2 bh = 1/2 x 3 x 8 = 12
Note: 1/2 bh only works because (-2,2) and (1,2) form a line parallel to the x axis
