Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle is equivalent to its length multiplied by its width.

In this example, one way we can look at this is to make everything in terms of two. First, we know that

We can establish that last line because x^((y)^(z)) = x^(y*z), as is stated in exponent rules. Therefore, our area is

Step-by-step explanation:

I can draw graphs on the application

eq1)  is a line through y = 5 with a negative slope of -1    y = -x + 5

eq2) is a vertical line at x = 1/2  NO y intercept or slope  

       -2x = -1 --->  x = -1/-2    =  1/2

They intersect at    

       y = -x + 5      and x = 1/2      Substitute x=1/2 into

       y = -1/2 + 5

       y = 4.5

intersect at  (1/2, 4.5)
