The 3 similar triangles shown in the figure are:

a) Triangle WXV 
b) Triangle WVY
c) Triangle VXY

For the similar triangles, the ratio of their corresponding sides is always equal.

From Triangle WXV, we are given the ratio WX/WV. 
The side corresponding to WX, in Triangle WVY will be WY and side corresponding to WV will be WY.

So, we can write:

WX/WV = WV/WY

Moreover,
The side corresponding to WX, in Triangle VXY will be VX and side corresponding to WV will be VY.

So, we can write:

WX/WV = VX/VY

From these two equation, we can write:

VX/VY = WV/WY

So, option B gives the correct answer

The similarities are VWX ~ YVX ~ YWV. Matching corresponding letters, you have
  WX/WV = VX/VY = WV/WY

The appropriate choice is ...
  B. VX/VY = WV/WY

Write a verbal expression to represent the given equation.
tankabanditka [31]

For this case we have the following expression:

4p + 3 = -5

We must indicate an equivalent verbal expression.

If "p" is a variable that represents any number, we can write:

Four times a number plus 3 equals -5.

Answer:

Four times a number plus 3 equals -5.

Option D

A negative value of r means that:
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

(d.) Those who score high on one variable tend to score low on the other.

Step-by-step explanation:

A negative value of correlation coefficient (r) shows a relationship between two variables such that as one variable increases, the other decreases. It shows the inverse relationship between two variables with the dependence determined by the value of the correlation coefficient (r).

It can be observed that for graphs with negative slope, the correlation coefficient (r) is similarly negative. This speaks about its relationship too.

The correlation coefficient being negative doesn't mean the relationship between the two variables in question is bad, it just means that the correlation relationship is inverse (still dependent). A perfectly negative correlation is -1.

Which of the following describes the image of a triangle after a dilation that has a scale factor of 5/6
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

See example below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The image of a triangle will be 5/6 the size. It will be slightly smaller than the original. For example, if the side measurement of the triangle on one side is 12 then the image of the triangle after a dilation will be 12*5/6 = 60/6 = 10.

The new side length is 10 slightly smaller than 12.

The sum of two numbers is 52. The greater number is 4 more than the smaller number. Which equation can be used to solve for the
Arisa [49]

Answer:

x+(x+4)=52

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's name the smaller number x.

The greater number would then be (x+4).

<em>The sum of two numbers means we are adding them together.</em>

<u>The equation we could then set up would be:</u>

x+(x+4)=52

<em>Now we can solve the equation to find the two numbers if needed.</em>

<u>Here is how:</u>

x+x+4=52

Combine like terms.

2x+4=52

Subtract 4 from both sides.

2x=48

Divide both sides by 2

x=24

The smaller number is 24.

24+4=28

The larger number is 28.
