Answer:

Q is not the midpoint of PR

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

If Q is the midpoint of PR

then

PQ=QR

substitute the given values and solve for x

15x-2=5x+3\\15x-5x=3+2\\10x=5\\x=0.5

Remember that

PR=5\ ft ----> given problem

PR=PQ+QR\\PR=(15x-2)+(5x+3)

substitute the value of x

PR=(15(0.5)-2)+(5(0.5)+3)

PR=(5.5)+(5.5)

PR=11\ ft

Compare with the given value of PR

5\ ft\neq 11\ ft

therefore

Q is not the midpoint of PR

Answer:

2(Jill) - 20 + (Jill) = 205

3(Jill) = 225

(Jill) = 75

(Jack) = 2(75) - 20 => 150 - 20 = 130

Jill= 75

Jack= 130

Is .0035 infinite or finite
marishachu [46]

0.0032 is finite because it doesn't go on forever. If that number never ended, it would be infinite. I hope this helps!

Which description best compares the graphs given by the equations:
nexus9112 [7]

x - 5y = -5, -5x - 25y = 25

First, you'll need to get the x variable by itself.

x - 5y = -5<u>
</u><u>    +5    +5</u><u>
</u>       x = 0
So x is plotted on the 0.

For the second part of the first equation, you'll be looking for what the y variable represents.

x - 5y = -5
<u>-x           -x</u><u>
</u>     <u>-5y</u> = <u>-5</u><u>
</u><u>       5      5</u><u>
</u>        y = 1
So y is plotted on the 1 on the vertical line above the 0.

For the first part of the second equation, you'll do the same thing as in the first equation.

-5x - 25y = 25
<u>        +25   +25</u><u>
</u>          <u>-5x</u> = <u>50</u><u>
</u>            5      5
            x = 10
So the x for this equation is plotted on 10 on the horizontal line.

For the second part of the second equation, you will do the same thing as in the first equation.

-5x - 25y = 25
<u>+5               +5</u><u>
</u>       <u>-25y</u> = <u>30</u><u>
</u>        25      25
           y = 1.2
So the y for the second half of the second question is plotted on 1.2 on the vertical line.

<h2>Answer: B) Perpendicular</h2>

Perpendicular means the lines may or may not be of equal length and they will not be perfectly in line with each other.

Parallel means the lines may or may not be of equal length but will be perfectly in line with each other.

Intersecting means the lines may or may not be of equal length but will touch each other.

A child is hopping along a sidewalk. The ratio table below shows the comparison between the number of hops and the distance trav
natima [27]
First we rewrite the table:
 20    30
 50    75
 80    120
 150   ?
 We observe that for each 30 number of hops, the distance increases by 45 feet.
 We must find the slope of the line:
 m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
 m = (75-30) / (50-20)
 m = 1.5
 Then, the line is:
 y = 1.5x
 We substitute x = 150
 y = 1.5 * (150)
 y = 225
 Answer:
 
Find the ratio of hops to distance traveled (1: 1.5), then multiply 150 by 1.5.
