Answer:
slope = -
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the slope m using the slope formula
m =
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (32, - 5)
m = =
= -
Identify the area of the polygon with vertices t(6,5), a(8,−1), s(4,−2), and k(−1,4).
1 answer:
Answer:
36.5 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a number of ways to compute the area of a polygon from the coordinates of its vertices. There are algebraic formulas, geometric methods involving decomposing the figure, and an interesting method described by Pick's theorem.

<h3>Geometry</h3>The figure can be enclosed by a rectangle that is 7 units high by 9 units wide. The actual figure is obtained by removing the triangular corners of this rectangle. The areas of those are given by the triangle area formula ...
A = 1/2bh
Working clockwise from lower left, the triangle base (horizontal) and height (vertical) dimensions are 5×6, 7×1, 2×6, 4×1. That means the area of the triangles is ...
A = 1/2(5×6 +7×1 +2×6 +4×1) = 1/2(30 +7 +12 +4) = 1/2(53) = 26.5
The area of the bounding rectangle is ...
A = bh = 9×7 = 63
So, the area of the figure is the difference ...
A = 63 -26.5 = 36.5 . . . square units
