How do you get -3/4 y to y by itself if you have the problem: -3/4 y = -1/2 x - 2?

Hi there!

Your answer is:

To isolate y that has a fraction, multiply by the inverse of the fraction! This is called the multiplicative inverse property!!

Y is equal to:

y = 2/3 x + 2 & 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Heres a break down of how to do this:

-3/4y = -1/2x -2

Multiply both sides by -4/3!

-4/3 × -3/4 = -12/12 (which equals -1!!)

y = -4/3 (-1/2x -2)

y = 2/3 x + 2 & 2/3

I hope this helps you! If you need clarification let me know!

there are lots of ways.   pick's theorem tells us if the vertices are lattice points the area a is

a = b/2 + i - 1

where b is the number of boundary lattice points and i is the number of interior lattice points.

in the figure i count b=16, i=50 so

a = 8 + 50 - 1 = 57

let's try the shoelace formula.   the area is half the sum of the cross products of the sides.  

a(-2,6)   -2(2)-6(-5) = 26

b(-5,2)   -5(-3) - 2(-2) = 19

c(-2,-3) -2(-3) - (-3)(4) = 18

d(4,-3)   4(3) - (-3)(5) = 27

e(5,3)   5(3) - 3(1) = 12

f(1,3)     1(6) - 3(-2) = 12

a(-2,6)

each of the cross products is twice the area of the triangle with the associated side and one vertex the origin. so the area of abo=26/2=13.

area = (1/2) (26 + 19 +   18 + 27 + 12 + 12) = 57

that checks!
