You wish to take a flight from Nevada to New York. Use the point (-4, 0) to represent Nevada, and the (5, 2) to represent New Yo

rk. The airline has partitioned the flight so that you have a layover. The flight distance is partitioned in a ratio of 3:1. Determine the ordered pair that represents the location of the layover.

Using proportions, it is found that the ordered pair that represents the location of the layover is (3.75, 1.5).

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

The flight distance is partitioned in a ratio of 3:1, hence, for both the x and y coordinates, we have that:

L - Nv = 3/4(Ny - Nv)

For the x-coordinate, we have that:

x + 4 = \frac{3}{4}(5 + 4)

x = \frac{27}{4} - \frac{16}{4}

x = \frac{11}{4}

x = 3.75

For the y-coordinate, we have that:

y = \frac{3}{4}(2)

y = \frac{6}{4}

y = 1.5.

The ordered pair that represents the location of the layover is (3.75, 1.5).

Which set of data is correct for the quadratic relation f(x) = 5(x -
Burka [1]

Answer:

Direction parabola opens upward.

Vertex of parabola is (27,-9).

Axis of symmetry is x=27.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: Option sets are not correct.  

The vertex form of a parabola is

y=a(x-h)^2+k    ...(1)

where, (h,k) is vertex and x=h is the axis of symmetry.

If a<0, then parabola opens downward and if a>0, then parabola opens upward.

The given function is

f(x)=5(x-27)^2-9     ...(2)

On comparing (1) and (2), we get

a=5>0, so direction parabola opens upward.

h=27,k=-9, so vertex of parabola is (27,-9).

So, axis of symmetry is x=27.

The following table shows the number of classes that
Tresset [83]

Answer:

There are 6 classes we find the median by finding the middle number of the 3rd highest class and 4th highest class, even if this is a decimal.

6/3 = 3+ 0.5

The process would be different if some values are the same values already on the chart total of each class.

ie) 20  31  14  22 20 31

small data like this below you can rearrange

14  20  20  22  31 31  

and see that 21 is the correct value

as there are even numbers, so we choose 20 , 22

and select the middle value = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

If there is an even number of numbers locate the two middle numbers so that there is an equal number of values to the left and to the right of these two numbers. Step 3: If there is an odd number of numbers, this middle number is the median. If there is an even number of numbers add the two middles and divide by 2.

Can you explain to me (detailed) on how to do this problem? I will give you a brainly if you get this right.
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

60 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the area, solve the triangle and rectangle separately.

Solve the rectangle:

Multiply 10 and 4 to get the area of 40 m^2.

Solve the triangle:

Multiply 10 and 4, then divide by 2. The formula for a triangle's area is base*height/2. The area is 20.

Add together:

40+20 = 60 m^2
