Answer:

$\frac{6}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is $\frac{6}{5}$ because rise/run. You rise up on the graph 6 units, and run 5 units to the right (if the graph went to the left), then your slope would be negative.

Another way to double check this is using the slope formula: $\frac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2} - x_{1} }$ .

(-3, -3) is x1, y1. & (2, 3) is x2, y2.

So, plugging that into the formula, we get:

$\frac{3-(-3)}{2-(-3)}$ = $\frac{6}{5}$ .

Hope that this helped. Have a good day! ☺

Area of a triangle with verticals of (-4,1),(-7,5),(0,1)

Lynna [10]

Answer:

$8 ft^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume that the three points given are the vertices of the triangle. So the three points are:

A (-4,1)

B (-7,5)

C (0,1)

The area of a triangle is given by:

$A=\frac{1}{2}bh$

where b is the base and h is the height.

Here we can take as follows:

- We can take the base to be the side AC, so that its length is equal to the distance between the two points:

$AC=\sqrt{(0-(-4))^2+(1-1)^2}=4$

- The height of the triangle is therefore the perpendicular distance between AC and point B. This is equivalent the difference in the x-coordinate between any point on AC and B, so:

$h=(5-1)=4 ft$
