Find the area of the shaded region of the composite figure below.

Side walk one

Slope = ( 7 – 3 ) / ( 2 -0 ) = 2

Solve for y intercept b

Y = mx + b

7 = 2(2) + b

B = 3

Y = 2x + 3

Side waik 2

Slope = ( 5 – 3) / (1 – 3) = -1

Solve for y intercept b

Y = mx + b

 5 = -1(1) + b

B = 6

Y = -x + 6

Solving the two equation

X = 1

Y = 5

The equation are consistent independent because they intersect at one point
