All you do is look at the first number and see which is greater than you will get your answer glad to help btw if you cant get it it's Maurice
Rise over run = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
3-12/-8 - (-17)
-9/ 9 which simplifies to —> -1 = slope
-t-3 and 3-t are not the same since t-3 would result in a negative answer since both -t and -3 are negative. While in t-3 t is positive and -3 is negative. it is wrong if its left as t-3 since -t-3=3-t is false.
To find the area that is shaded red, you find the area of the rectangle and subtract it by the area of the triangle.
Area of a rectangle:
A = l × w [ l = 11 in ; w = 6in ] Plug these numbers into the equation
A = 11 · 6
A = 66 in²
Area of a triangle:
[ b = 4 in ; h = 6 in ] Plug these #s into the equation


A = 12 in²
Area of rectangle - Area of triangle = Area of the shaded region
66 in² - 12 in ² = 54 in²
Your answer is B
