Length of the long piece = 4 times the length of the short piece
Length of the short piece = 1 times the length of the short piece.
Total length of both pieces = (4 + 1) = 5 times the length of the short piece.

5 times the length of the short piece = 75 inches

The length of the short piece =75 / 5 = 15 inches

Length of the long piece = 4 times the length of the short piece = 60 inches

Check: 15 + 60 = 75 inches

The shorter piece is 15 inches, and the longer piece is 60 inches.
This would be a system of equations problem. If x is the shorter piece and y is the longer piece, then your two equations would be:
x + y = 75
y = 4x
Since the second equation tells you what y is, you can substitute the y in the first equation with 4x to get the equation x + 4x = 75. x + 4x is 5x, so you'll have 5x = 75. To get x by itself, divide off the 5 on both sides. 75 ÷ 5 = 15, so x = 15. The shorter piece would be 15 inches long.
Now that you know x, go to the second equation and plug it in: y = 4·15. 4·15 is 60, so that makes the longer piece 60 inches long.
Sorry if this was confusing; I'm really bad at giving written directions :/

The ordered pair (a, b) gives the location of point P on the coordinate plane. The value of b is negative. The value of a is not
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Quadrant III ( C )

Quadrant IV ( D )

Step-by-step explanation:

Ordered pair ( a, b )

gives a point P on the coordinate plane

( a, b ) = ( x, y )

given : b = negative ( y-axis )

           a ≠ 0 ( i.e. a = negative or positive ) ( x -axis )

Therefore point P is located in the : Third and fourth quadrants

4. A mountain climber needs to descend 2,000 feet.
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

C. 500 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

If we want to make it all equal, we can divide the 2,000 ft by 4 because we have 4 equal descents.

2000 ÷ 4 = 500

He should travel <u>500 feet</u> in each descent.

I need some help on my math test!!, I get to retake it but I need help with some of it:
Greeley [361]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = \frac{1}{2}, thus

y = \frac{1}{2} x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 4, - 9) into the partial equation

- 9 = - 2 + c ⇒ c = - 9 + 2 = - 7

y = \frac{1}{2} x - 7 ← equation of line
