The area of a triangle is the amount of space on the triangle

The expression that represents the area of the triangle is A = \frac 12|-5(2 -4) +3(2 -6) -2(4 -6)|

The coordinates of the triangle are given as:

R = (-5,6)

S = (3,4)

T = (-2,2)

The area (A) of a triangle from its coordinates or vertices are:

A = \frac 12|x_1(y_3 -y_2) +x_2(y_3 -y_1) + x_3(y_2 -y_1)|

Substitute values for x's and y's

A = \frac 12|-5(2 -4) +3(2 -6) -2(4 -6)|

Hence, the expression that represents the area of the triangle is A = \frac 12|-5(2 -4) +3(2 -6) -2(4 -6)|

Can someone help me with number 4,5 and 6?
True [87]
4) You know slope-intercept form is y=mx+b. So using these two given points, you can find the slope! 

(-8,5)  (-3,10) [Use the y1-y2 over x1-x2 formula to solve for slope]

10 - 5         5
---------   = ----- = 1 
-3-(-8)         5

Hurray! You got a slope of one. Now substitute this back into your original equation:
y=mx+b --> y=1x+b 

Next, we find what our "b" is, or what our y-intercept is:
Using one of the previous points given, substitute them into the new equation:
[I used the point (-3, 10) ]

y=1x+b
10=1(-3)+b  SUBSTITUTE 
10=-3+b     MULTIPLY
10=-3+b
+3   +3    ADD
----------
13=b     SIMPLIFY 

So, now we have our y-intercept. Use this and plug it into the equation:
y=1x+b --> y=1x+13 

y=1x+13 is our final answer.



5) So for perpendicular lines, your slope will be the opposite reciprocal of the original slope. (Ex: Slope is 2, but perpendicular slope is -1/2) 

We have the equation y= 3x-1, so find the reciprocal slope! 
--> y=-1/3x-1 

Good! Now we take our given point, (9, -4) and plug it into the new equation:

y=-1/3x-1
-4=-1/3(9)+b   SUBSTITUTE and revert "-1" to "b", for we are trying to find the y-     -4=-3+b          intercept of our perpendicular equation. 
+3   +3            ADD
--------
-1=b    SIMPLIFY 

So, our final answer is y=-1/3x+(-1)

6) I don't know, sorry! :(

Can someone help me with this question please.

Answer:

6, 8, and 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

You could work this out with the pythagorean theorem, by proving that 6^2, 36, plus 8^2, 64, equals 100. The fastest way, however, is to use pythagorean triples. These are predetermined sets of numbers that work as side lengths for right triangles. The first two are 3, 4, and 5, which form a right triangle, and 6, 8, and 10, shown here.

Claire bought a pair of jeans that regularly cost $50 on sale for $40. What was the percent decrease in price?
Len [333]

The answer is 20%

If 50 is your 100%, take 100 and 90 for example it would be obvious that is it 10% off, so with 50 since it is half of 100 you double the 10% which will be 20%. :)
