here is how to do it:
Explanation:
(h,k) are the coordinates of the vertex. They correspond to (x,y). So, first, you need to plug the vertex coordinates in for h and k in the given formula. Then, to find the a value (slope) you need to plug in the “contains” value in for x and y accordingly. Finally, just solve for a by simplifying algebraically. Make sure to distribute the - sign to your h and k values.
When you have the a value, to write the equation, do the following:
1. make sure to leave the vertex coordinates in the given formula equation
2. take out the “contains” values for x and y.
3. leave in the a value you found
Your completed equation should have the same format as the given formula. However, it should have numbers for the h, k, and a values. The x and y values should stay x and y.

Base of Triangle, b = 2√3
Height of Triangle, h = 3√3
Formula for Area of Triangle, A = (b * h)/2
Area of the Triangle = (2√3 * 3√3)/2
= (2 * √3 * 3 * √3)/2
Collect like terms in the bracket
= (2 * 3 * √3 * √3)/2
= [(2 * 3) * (√3 * √3)]/2
= (6 * 3)/2
= 18/2

The name Bahamas is derived from the Lucayan name Bahama ('large upper middle island'), used by the indigenous Taíno people for the island of Grand Bahama. Tourist guides often state that the name comes from the Spanish baja mar ('shallow sea').
