Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of the ratios = 3 + 4 + 5 = 12

Smallest share = 18 bags

Ratio of the smallest share = 3

Let the largest share = x

From the question

18 ------------ 3

x --------------5

Cross multiply

3x = 18 × 5

Dividing bothsides by 3

X = 18 × 5/ 3

X = 90 / 3

X = 30

Therefore.

The largest share = 30

Quadrilateral JKLM is graphed with vertices at J(-2,2), K(-1,-5), L(4,0), and M(3,7).

AveGali [126]

Answer:

<u>Question (a)</u>

Midpoint of a line segment:

$M=\left(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)$

Given:

J = (-2, 2)
L = (4, 0)

$\implies \textsf{midpoint of }JL=\left(\dfrac{-2+4}{2},\dfrac{2+0}{2}\right)=(1,1)$

Given:

M = (3, 7)
K = (-1, -5)

$\implies \textsf{midpoint of }MK=\left(\dfrac{3-1}{2},\dfrac{7-5}{2}\right)=(1, 1)$

<u>Question (b)</u>

Find slopes (gradients) of JL and MK then compare. If the product of the slopes of JL and MK equal -1, then JL and MK are perpendicular.

$\textsf{slope }m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Given:

J = (-2, 2)
L = (4, 0)

$\implies \textsf{slope of }JL=\dfrac{0-2}{4+2}=-\dfrac13$

Given:

M = (3, 7)
K = (-1, -5)

$\implies \textsf{slope of }MK=\dfrac{-5-7}{-1-3}=3$

$\textsf{slope of }JL \times \textsf{slope of }MK=-\dfrac13 \times3=-1$

Hence segments JL and MK are perpendicular

What is the gradient between (0,3) and (1,8).

trasher [3.6K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x1 , y1) = ( 0 , 3)

(x2 , y2) = ( 1 , 8)

Now

Gradient =

$\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

$= \frac{8 - 3}{1 - 0} \\ = \frac{5}{1} \\ = 5$

Hope it will help :)
