HELP PLEASE I'LL DO ANYTHING

Let's find the slope of that line first. m = y1 - y2 over x1 - x2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So let's plug the two points in. m = 8 - 2 over -10 - 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alrighty c;

OpenStudy (anonymous):

rise / run m = 6 over -17

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 6 }{ -17 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Slope? Side of Square is s. Area of Square = s*s Area of Triangle = ½*s *(Triangle Base) s*s = ½*s *(Triangle Base) s = ½*(Triangle Base) Triangle Base = 2*Square Side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was going to sub the answers in. Your way is better. :D

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

x-coordinate: -7 + (1/3)(-10 - (-7)) = -7 + (1/3)(-3) = -7 - 1 = -8 y-coordinate: ??

OpenStudy (mathmate):

If in difficulty, review "point of division" formulas.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so point of divison will help me find the ansewer

OpenStudy (mathmate):

@tkhunny has already done the x-coordinate for you. If it is not clear how the y-coordinate is done, yes, review point of division and it will help you complete the solution.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

awesome

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so -8 , 4 ?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Yep, right on! Well done!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you!
