Answer: Second option.
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of a line can be calculated with this formula:
Then, you need to choose two points of the line shown in the graph and substitute them into the formula for calculate the slope:
Let's pick the points (-4,4) and (4,-2).
Substituting:
Simplifiying, you get that the slope of the line in the graph is:
While linear<span> equations are always straight, </span>nonlinear<span> equations often feature curves.</span>
Remark
You don't have to decompose the second one, and it is better if you don't. Just find the area as you probably did: use the formula for a trapezoid. You have to assume that the 6cm line hits the 2 bases at right angles for each of them, otherwise, you don't know the height. So I'm going to assume that we are in agreement about the second one.
Problem One
The answer for this one has to be broken down and unfortunately, you answer is not right for the total area, although you might get 52 for the triangle. Let's check that out.
<em><u>Triangle</u></em>
Area = 1/2 * b * h
base = 16 cm
h = 10 - 4 = 6
Area = 1/2 * 16 * 6
Area = 48
<em><u>Area of the Rectangle</u></em>
Area = L * W
L = 16
W = 4
Area = L * W
Area = 16 * 4
Area = 64
<em><u>Total Area</u></em>
Area = 64 + 48
Area = 112 of both figures <<<< Answer
