How would you find the area of the region enclosed between the lines y equals -5x - 28 -4y plus 6x plus 18 equals 0 and the y axis?
y = -5x -28
-4y + 6x + 18 = 0 -> y = 3x/2 + 9/2
y-axis: x = 0
First, find the y-intercepts to determine 2 of the points of the triangle (substitute x=0 into the first two equations):
y = -28 (0, -28)
y = 9/2 (0, 9/2)
Then, find where the two equations intersect each other to determine the 3rd point of the triangle:
3x/2 + 9/2 = -5x - 28
3x + 9 = -10x - 56
13x = -65
x = -5, y = -3 (-5, -3)
From this, we know the height of the triangle is 5 (distance from y-axis to the 3rd point of the triangle), and the base of the triangle is 65/2 (the distance between the y-intercepts).
The area of the triangle is b*h/2 = 325/4
What else can I help you with?
What type of lines are these 3x - 2y equals -2 and 6x - 4y equals 0?
They are parallel straight lines,
What type of lines are these x plus 2y equals 7 and 2x plus 4y equals 21?
They are parallel lines.
Are the graphs of the lines in the pair parallel Explain y equals 4x plus 6 -15x plus 3y equals -45?
No because the slope in both lines have different values
What is the difference between vertical and horizontal lines?
vertical lines run from top to bottom, horizontal lines run from left to right the difference between the two is 90 degrees if you place vertical lines next to horizontal lines.
What shape has lines that never intersect?
A common shape that has lines that never intersect is the equals sign. Shapes that include intersecting lines but also have others that will never intersect include squares, rectangles, and rhombuses.
What is a rhythmic unit enclosed between a pair of vertical lines?
A rhythmic unit enclosed between a pair of vertical lines is a measure, or bar.
What is the figure enclosed by straight lines called?
A polygon.
What is the amount of surface enclosed whthin its boundary lines?
area
What was the area enclosed by broken lines called?
The fertile creasent!
The locus of points equidistant from the lines y equals -2 and y equals 8?
The locus of points between 2 lines will always be another line that is halfway between the original 2 lines. In this case, that will be a line halfway between y=-2 and y=8, and since 3 is halfway between -2 and 8, the locus will be the line y=3.
Is a Cuba a polygon?
No it is not. A polygon is a plane space enclosed by straight lines. The boundaries of Cuba are not straight lines.
What are the sides of the polygon?
A polygon is a 2-dimensional area that is enclosed by straight lines. These straight lines are its sides.
What is difference between a polygon and plane figure?
A polygon is a plane figure with 3 or more straight sides and angles. A plane figure is a flat enclosed figure made of straight lines, curved lines, or both.
What type of lines are these y equals 2x and y equals 2x-1?
They are parallel lines
What is a three-sided enclosed figure called that is not a triangle?
If the lines are straight then it IS a triangle.
How can you identifies quadrilateral?
A quadrilateral is a plane area enclosed by four straight lines.
How do you define nonagon?
A nonagon is a plane area enclosed by nine straight lines.
