Answer:
1. To find the slope of a line that passes through two points, you can use the
formula: slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). In this case, the two points are (2, 3)
and (6, 7), so the slope is: (7 - 3) / (6 - 2) = = 1. So the slope of the line
that passes through the points (2, 3) and (6, 7) is 1.
2. To find the area of a triangle using Heron's formula, you first need the
length of all three sides of the triangle. Let's say the sides are a, b, and c.
Then, the area of the triangle is:
Area = sqrt(s * (s - a) * (s - b) * (s - c))
where s = (a + b + c) / 2 is the semiperimeter of the triangle.
3. To solve the system of equations: 2x + 3y = 6 and 4x - 2y = 8, we can use
either substitution or elimination method.
Substitution method:
Solve one equation for one variable in terms of the other variable, then substitute
this into the other equation.
2x + 3y = 6 => y = (-2/3)x + 2
4x - 2y = 8 => 4x - 2((-2/3)x + 2) = 8
