Answer:

Equation of midsegment line: y = (-1/4)x + 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the parallel sides of a trapezoid are contained by the lines:-

y = (-1/4)x +5 and y = (-1/4)x - 1

Midsegment of any trapezoid is the line segment

1. that is parallel to pair of parallel side of trapezoid and

2. that passes through the middle of the trapezoid and cuts the other two sides into equal-half.

It means the midsegment would have same slope as the parallel lines and y-intercept would be in the middle of intercepts of parallel lines.

So y = mx + b

where m = -1/4 and b = (5 - 1)/2 = 4/2 = 2.

Hence, the equation of midsegment would be y = (-1/4)x + 2.

A store is selling five cans of tomato sauce for $5.25. What is the unit price?
Svetach [21]
The unit price is tantamount to saying the price of each. For this item, we are asked to determine the price of each can. Thus, it can be determined by dividing the price to number of cans.
                           $5.25 / 5 = 1.05
Thus, each can of tomato sauce costs $1.05.

What is the percent of change from 5,000 to 900 ?
nadezda [96]

Answer: 82% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial number =5000

Final number = 900

Change in numbers = 5000 - 900 = 4100

Since 5000 > 900 ( the change is a decrease)

Thus, the percent change =

(4100/5000) x 100%

= 82%

Thus, the percent of change from 5,000 to 900 is 82% decrease
