Question 9 (Worth 1 points) (04.03 HC) Right triangle ABC is on a coordinate plane. Segment AB is on the line y = 2 and is 6 units long. Point C is on the line x = -3. If the area of AABC is 9 square units, then find a possible y-coordinate of point C. 05 7 8 Points earned on this question: 0
The area is half the product of base and height, so that product must be 2×9=18. Since the base is 6, the height must be 18/6 = 3. Two points on line x=-3 are 3 units from y=2. One of them is y=-1; the other is y=5.
