Answer:

This image is showig how to divide a given line segment into a number of equal parts by using a compass and  ruler. First, draw the line AB. Secondly, draw a line above and divide into 5 equal distances to make a line AC. Third, using a compass by getting the distance of point C and B to be equal in the distance of point A and D, also getting the distance of point C to A to be equal to point B and D, then to make the Line DB. Finally divide into 5 equal parts by compass.

Step-by-step explanation:  

Hope that help.

What is the slope <br> y = (34/4)x + 3
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

The slope is 17 / 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

y=mx+b

Find the values of m and b using the form y=mx+b.

m=17 / 2

b=3

The slope of the line is the value of m, and the y-intercept is the value of b.

Slope: 17 / 2

y-intercept: 3

A deep sea diver started at sea level (0 feet) and dove at a rate of 5.6 feet per minute. If the diver dove for ½ hour, what rat
Leona [35]

Given:

A deep sea diver started at sea level (0 feet).

Rate of diving = 5.6 feet per minute.

Time = \dfrac{1}{2} hour

To find:

The rational number that represents his position relative to sea level.

Solution:

We know that,

1 hour = 60 minutes

\dfrac{1}{2} hour = 30 minutes

A deep sea diver, dove at a rate of 5.6 feet per minute.

Distance covered in 1 minute = 5.6 feet

Distance covered in 30 minute = 30 × 5.6 feet

                                                    = 168 feet

The diver dove 168 feet in \dfrac{1}{2} hour. Since it is below the sea level, therefore it should be negative.

So, the rational number that represents his position relative to sea level is -168 feet.

Therefore, the correct option is D.
