Answer:
82.5 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
The area (A) of a trapezoid is calculated as
A = h (b₁ + b₂)
where h is the perpendicular height and b₁, b₂ the parallel bases
Here h = 7.5, b₁ = 7 and b₂ = 15 , then
A = × 7.5 × (7 + 15) = 0.5 × 7.5 × 22 = 82.5 ft²
To find y you need to insert x into the equation. The equation is y=2x+2, so insert the x on the table to find the y.
y=2(-4)+2=-6
y=2(-2)+2=-2
y=2(0)+2=2
y=2(1)+2=4
y=2(3)+2=8
These follow the equation's rule so it is correct.
Two plot the values of x and y you need to put it in (x,y) then plot it. Then you can check it by using the equation, y=mx+b, the b is the y intercept, so check to see if it starts there, and then check and see if it followings the slope
(-4, -6), (-2, -2), (0, 2), (1, 4), (3, 8)
Hope this helps, now you know the answer and how to do it. HAVE A BLESSED AND WONDERFUL DAY! As well as a great rest of Black History Month! :-)
