What is the area of a parallelogram whose vertices are a(−12, 2) , b(6, 2) , c(−2, −3) , and d(−20, −3) ?

These have two sides with constant y values, i.e. two sides parallel to the x axis.  We'll check they're the same length

AB=6 - -12 = 18

CD = -2 - -20 = 18  good

That's the base.  The height is 2 - -3 = 5 so an area of 18(5)=90

90

Even if we didn't know it was a nicely oriented parallelogram we can get the area with the shoelace formula, which says it's half the absolute value of the sum of the cross products of each side.

A(−12, 2) , B(6, 2) , C(−2, −3) , D(−20, −3)

B(6, 2) , C(−2, −3) , D(−20, −3) , A(−12, 2)

A = (1/2) |  (-12)(2) - 2(6) + 6(-3) - 2(-2) + (-2)(-3) - (-3)(-20) + (-20)(2) - (-3)(-12) | = |-180|/2 = 90

the required function is .

step-by-step explanation:

from the given table it is noticed that the graph passing through (-3,7), (0,4), (3,1) and (8,-4).

it is a linear function because the value of y is decrease by one as the value of x increase by 1.

the slope of the function is

the slope of the function is -1 and the y-intercept is 4.

the slope intercept form is

where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

therefore the required function is . the graph of this function is shown below.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

4

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
