1: Assuming this line is linear, the first thing to do is find the slope.
The slope formula is

, so in this case, it is

, which comes to

. Then, use your slope and one of the points given to write the point-slope formula of the linear equation, and then written in standard form:
y=

x-

.
2. Use the same process as in question 1 to find:
y=-7x+11
The area of the yard is 50,600 square feet.
Option: C.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
The given information forms a trapezoid.
The AB is the upper base (a) and its length is 200 feet.
The CD is the lower base (b) and its length is 260 feet.
A straight line distance from AB and CD is the height (h) and its measures as 220 feet.
The area of trapezoid A=
.
A=
.
=
.
=230(220).
=50600 
Thus the area of John's yard is 50,600 square feet.

<h3>How to calculate the directional derivative of a multivariate function</h3>
The <em>directional</em> derivative is represented by the following formula:
(1)
Where:
- Gradient evaluated at the point
.
- Directional vector.
The gradient of
is calculated below:
(2)
Where
and
are the <em>partial</em> derivatives with respect to
and
, respectively.
If we know that
, then the gradient is:

Yes he would be able to because the guy could just put it a a diagonal angle and it would fit but it you can't do that then no it wouldn't fit
