Answer:
A = 25
Step-by-step explanation:
Base = |-2-(-7)| = |-2+7| = 5
equation of the line that includes the base
x = 6 (because it is parallel to y axis)
the height passes to the point (-4,-4) and must be perpendicular to the base
the equation of the line of the base hasn’t the slope expressed, so the line of the height has a slope equal to 0
so the equation of the line is y= -4
the point (6,-4) is where the two lines intercept and it is the point where the height hit the base
height = |-4-6| = 10
A = (base x height)/2 = (5x10)/2 = 25
