Vertical Line:& x=4
Horizontal Line:& y=- 2
The vertical line intercepts the x-axis at 4, and the horizontal line intercepts the y-axis at - 2.
Let's now draw the graph of the third line. Note that this line is already written in slope-intercept form. Therefore, we can identify the slope and the y-intercept.
y=3/4x-2
⇕
y=3/4x+(- 2)
Let's use the y-intercept - 2 and the slope 34 to graph this line.
b We will now find the area of the triangle enclosed by the lines. Note that the base has a length of 4 units and the height has a length of 3 units.
We can substitute these values into the formula for the area of a triangle and simplify. Let's do it!
