Find the equation of the first line using the two given points: (1,-1) (-1,-5)
Slope = change in Y over change in x:
Slope = (-5-(-1)) / (-1-(1) = -4/-2 = 2
Now find y intercept: y - y1 = m(x-x1) = y -(-1) = 2(x-1)
Simplify to get y = 2x-3
Now a perpendicular line has a opposite reciprocal slope.
The perpendicular line would be y = -1/2x - 3
You are told the y intercept is -4 units greater, so add -4 to -3 to get -7
The answer would be A. y = -1/2x-7
Answer: 2 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer should be 95in^2
Explanation:
You’re essentially just finding the area of all the shapes on the triangle and adding them together.
Area of a triangle = 1/2•b•h
Area of a square = l•w or just s2
The area of the triangles given what we have in the diagram can be found with
1/2•5•7 = 17.5
There are 4 triangles so you multiply 17.5 by 4 which gives 70
The base of the triangle (the square) = 25
70+25=95
Volume unit conversion. 1 gallon = 8 pints.
