Identify the meaning of the variables in the point-slope form of a line.

(x,y) = Any point on the line

m = the slope of the line

(x₁, y₁) = A given point on the line

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a straight line is;

y = mx + c

where;

x and y are any point on the line

m is the slope of the line

c is the intercept on the y axis

And a given point on (x,y) can be written as (x₁, y₁)

Therefore, for the case above;

(x,y) = Any point on the line

m = the slope of the line

(x₁, y₁) = A given point on the line

complete the steps to find the area of the trapezoid.

area of rectangle = 256   square units

area of triangle 1 = 24  square units

area of triangle 2 = 16  square units

area of triangle 3 =   96 square units

area of trapezoid = 120  square units
