Right triangle ABC is on a coordinate plane. Segment AB is on the line y = 2 and is 3 units long. Point C is on the line x = −1. If the area of ΔABC is 6 square units, then find a possible y-coordinate of point C. A: 6
B: 7
C: 8

A.  6

Step-by-step explanation:

Segment AB is on the line y = 2 and is 3 units long.

Point C is on the line x = −1.

FIND:

If the area of ΔABC is 6 square units, then find a possible y-coordinate of point C.

SOLUTION:

Area of a triangle = 1/2 b * h

segment AB is a horizontal line

the base of our triangle and point C is somewhere on the height.

If we can find the height of the triangle, we can add or subtract that height from y = 2 to get the possible y coordinate of point C.

We know that the x coordinate is -1 so,

6 = 1/2 (3) h

12 = 3h

h = 4

we can either add 4 or subtract 4 to the y coordinate of 2 to get the possible y coordinate of point C.

option 1

2 + 4 = 6 so the coordinate for C could be (-1, 6) or

option 2

2 - 4 = -2 so the coordinate for C could also be (-1, -2).

Since -2 is not in our choices but 6.

therefore,

the answer would be A. 6

there has been genes found in the x chromosome of males that have been linked to [homo/hetero]sexuality. in addition to the reign of the x chromosome, a section of chromosome 8 has also been link to, "alot of ppl are so " these facts were proven true after a 2014 study of a gay male and his strait brother. according to newscientist.com,"chromosome 14 and is mainly active in the thyroid, but also the brain. called tshr, it makes a type of receptor protein that recognises and binds to a hormone that stimulates the thyroid. in this way, the gene plays an important role in controlling thyroid function. the fact that tshr seems to be involved in sexual orientation fits with evidence that thyroid function seems to be linked to sexuality."

in conclusion, "ppl are so gay" due to their genetics.
