Question

Determine the intercepts of the line.

Answer 1

Answer:

6 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the trapezoid is given by the formula ...

A = 1/2(b1 +b2)h

A = 1/2(4 cm +2 cm)(2 cm) = 6 square centimeters

Answer 2

Answer:

  y-intercept: (0, 5/2)

  x-intercept: (5/3, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept is found by setting x=0 and dividing by the coefficient of y.

  0 +2y = 5

  y = 5/2

The x-intercept is found by setting y=0 and dividing by the coefficient of x.

  3x +0 = 5

  x = 5/3

The intercepts are ...

  y-intercept: (0, 5/2)

  x-intercept: (5/3, 0)
