Answer:

The value of a  = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x₁, y₁) = (2, 4)

(x₂, y₂) = (6, a)

(x₃, y₃) = (-1, 1)

A = 9 sq.units

Area of a triangle with vertices (x₁, y₁), (x₂, y₂), and (x₃, y₃) is:

A=\frac{\left|x_1\left(y_2-y_3\right)+x_2\left(y_3-y_1\right)+x_3\left(y_1-y_2\right)\right|}{2}

substituting the values (x₁, y₁) = (2, 4), (x₂, y₂) = (6, a), (x₃, y₃) = (-1, 1), A = 9 in th formula

A=\frac{\left|x_1\left(y_2-y_3\right)+x_2\left(y_3-y_1\right)+x_3\left(y_1-y_2\right)\right|}{2}

9=\frac{\left|2\left(a-1\right)+6\left(1-4\right)+-1\left(4-a\right)\right|}{2}

Multiply both sides by 2

\frac{2\left|2\left(a-1\right)+6\left(1-4\right)-1\left(4-a\right)\right|}{2}=9\cdot \:2

simplify

\left|2\left(a-1\right)+6\left(1-4\right)-1\left(4-a\right)\right|=18

As the area is always positive.

so

2\left(a-1\right)+6\left(1-4\right)-1\cdot \left(4-a\right)=18

2\left(a-1\right)-18-\left(4-a\right)=18

Add 18 to both sides

2\left(a-1\right)-18-\left(4-a\right)+18=18+18

simplify

2\left(a-1\right)-\left(4-a\right)=36

3a-6=36

3a=42

Divide both sides by 3

\frac{3a}{3}=\frac{42}{3}

a=14

Thus, the value of a  = 14

How do you find the slope of ordered pairs
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

the slope is defined as the change in price divided by the change in quantity supplied between two points (i.e. the two ordered pairs). we can use the following formula to calculate it: m = (y2 – y1)/(x2 – x1). in the case of my example, the two ordered pairs are (2, 500) and (1, 250)
