The area of this rectangle is x*y. But, this problem requires that you represent the variable "y" in terms of "x" only.
A hint here is that the variable "y" represent a point on the line that connects the end points (0,b) and (a,0).
The first step to solve this problem is to get the expression of this line.
The slope of this line is: m = (0 - b)/(a - 0) = -b/a
Because the point (x,y) is on this line we have: y - b = m(x - 0)
y = (-b/a)x + b
Solution: Area of the rectangle = x*y = x*((-b/a)x + b) = (-b/a)x2 +bx
First, you set up your equation then you put the pieces together to get the answer
Answer:
(-5,-3)
Step-by-step explanation:
y values minus y values over x values minus x values
Answer:
the two triangles are similar
reasons are
(a) both are right angled triangles
(b) both are scalene triangles
I did that ima go fine the papers
