Answer:
   5
Step-by-step explanation:
If the ratio is truly "common," you can find it from any pair of successive terms:
   r = 5/1 = 5
The common ratio is 5.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
<em>The coordinates of b are: B=(-7,-8)</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the coordinates of the midpoint of  as M=(-5,-2).
 as M=(-5,-2). 
We are also given the coordinates of A=(-3,4). The question requires us to calculate the coordinates of the other endpoint B.
Let (xb,yb) the coordinates of B. The coordinates of the midpoint can be calculated as follows:


We know xa=-3 and xm=-5. Solve the first equation for xb:

Substituting:


We can solve the second equation for xb and get:

Since ya=4 and ym=-2, then:


Thus, the coordinates of b are: B=(-7,-8)

speed of current is 1.5 mi/hr
Answer:
let the rate in still water be x and rate of the current be y.
speed down the river is:
speed=distance/time
speed=14/2=7 mi/h
speed up the river is:
speed=(14)/(3.5)=4 mi/hr
thus total speed downstream and upstream will be:
x+y=7...i
x-y=4.......ii
adding the above equations i and ii we get:
2x=11
x=5.5 mi/hr
thus
y=5-5.5=1.5 mi/r
thus the speed in still waters is 5.5 mi/hr
speed of current is 1.5 mi/hr
