Answer: $\overline{VW}=15$ units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Point W is on line segment $\overline{VX}$ .

That means V,W,X are collinear such that $\overline{VX} = \overline{WX}+\overline{VW}$ (i)

Given $\overline{ WX}=2$ units. , $\overline{ VX} = 17$ units.

To determine : length of $\overline{ VW}$ .

Substitute all the given values in (i), we get

$17=2+\overline{VW}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \overline{VW} =17-2=15\\\\\Rightarrow\overline{VW}=15$

Hence, the length of $\overline{VW}=15$ units.

What is the value of r, the part of the job that Marina can complete in 1 hour? 0.1 0.4 0.5 0.6

kvv77 [185]

So, Katherine can do 0.1 of the job per hour. (if she needs 10 hours for the job, each hour she can do the whole divided by the time, so 1/10, which is 0.1)

if in two hours she and Marina can be done, then Marina will do 1(the whole job)-2/10 (twice as much as she can do in an hour)=0.8 of the job. So if Marina does 0.8 of the job in two hours, each hour she will do half of it: 0.4 - and this is the correct answer

Show that the equation Y -2= 4(3x+5) is a liner and then tell if it represents a proportional or nonproportional relationship be

lozanna [386]

Answer:

y=12x+22 is linear but not proportional

Step-by-step explanation:

$y-2=4(3x+5)$

This is a linear equation because it has an x and y within the expression without exponents or other complex operators. We can rearrange and simplify the equation into slope-intercept form.

$y-2=4(3x+5)\\y-2=12x+20\\y-2+2=12x+20+2\\y=12x+22$

This linear equation follows the form y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. For this function, m=12 and b=22. This is not a proportional relationship because the function's y-intercept is something other than 0.
