A rectangle has its vertices at (-4, -3), (-4,7), (1,7), (1, -3). What part, in percent, of the rectangle is located in Quadrant

III?

Consider the attached figure. The whole rectangle is ABCD, while AEGF is the part located in the third quadrant. In fact, this quadrant is composed by all the points with both coordinates negative.

To answer the question, let's compute the area of the two rectangles and see what part of ABCD is AEGF.

A and B have the same x coordinate, so the length of AB is given by the absolute difference of their y coordinates:

\overline{AB} = |A_y-B_y| = |-3-7| = |-10| = 10

Similarly, but exchanging the role of x and y, we compute the length of BC:

\overline{BC} = |B_x-C_x| = |-4-1| = |-5| = 5

So, the area of the rectangle is \overline{AB} \cdot \overline{BC} = 10\cdot 5 = 50

The same procedure allows us to compute width and height of the sub-rectangle in the third quadrant:

\overline{AE} = |A_y-E_y| = |-3-0| = |-3| = 3

\overline{EG} = |E_x-G_x| = |-4-0| = |-4| = 4

So, the area of the portion located in the third quadrant is \overline{AE} \cdot \overline{EG} = 3\cdot 4 = 12

This means that the ratio between the two area is

\cfrac{\text{area }AEGF}{\text{area }ABCD} = \cfrac{12}{50}

If we want this ratio to be a percentage, just make sure that the denominator is 100:

\cfrac{12}{50} = \cfrac{12}{50}\cdot \cfrac{2}{2} = \cfrac{24}{100} = 24\%

Which phrase describes a nonlinear function?
MAVERICK [17]
Out of the given choices, the phrase that best describes a nonlinear function is letter A. The area of a circle as a function of the radius. This is because area is calculated through the equation,
                                A = πr²
All the rest of the choices presents linear functions.

Find the slope between the two points: (3,-2) and (4,7)
cupoosta [38]
To find slope given two points, there is a formula you can use: (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). Y2 stands for the second y coordinate and y1 stands for the first y coordinate. The same logic applies to the x's. Let's assume that (3, -2) is x1, y1 and (4,7) is x2, y2. Let's plug them into the formula.

(7-(-2))/(4-3).
7-(-2)=9 for total y value.

4-3=1 for the x value.

Now we divide them.
9/1=9. 9=m. M is the variable commonly used for slope. Hope this helped!

Please help me. X/6 ≥ 7. I also need to know how this would be graphed thank you.
BigorU [14]

Answer: The inequality solves to x ≥ 42

The graph is shown below

==================================================

Explanation:

We have some unknown number x, and we're dividing by 6 to form the fraction x/6. That result is 7 or larger which means we write x/6 ≥ 7

To solve for x, we undo the division. We'll multiply both sides by 6. That's how we get to x ≥ 42

The graph will involve a number line. Plot a closed filled in circle at 42 on the number line. Shade to the right. This visually represents any number that is 42 or larger. The endpoint 42 itself is included in the solution set.

Side note: We would use an open circle if we didn't have the "or equal to" portion for the inequality sign.

Difference between mafic intermediate and felsic magmas
Inga [223]

Both are indicators of the chemical composition of silicate minerals, magmas and rocks.

Mafic is used for silicate minerals, magmas and rocks that are composed of heavier elements, like magnesium, iron, calcium and sodium. They are dark and have high specific gravities.

<span>Opposite to the this, felsic silicate minerals, magmas and rocks in their composition have less from these heavy elements. They are composed from silicon, oxygen, aluminium and potassium, are light in color and have lower specific gravities.</span>
