Hi! :) It's been a while since I've been on this site, but I'm a college student now! I was wondering if someone could help me out here. Below is an attachment for an Algebra assignment that I completed, and I was wondering if someone could double check my answers for me. Six of the questions are left blank for the "Show Your Work" portion because I couldn't figure out how to work the answer out. If someone could tell me how to figure those particular problems out, I'd appreciate it. If there are any viewing problems, let me know, and I'll re-type the questions in another post. Thank you so much to anyone who's willing to help!

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
