40 cm.

let the length of the first part be 3x, second part be 4x, third part be 5x.

where x is a positive length in cm.

why 3x,4x and 5x ?

so that the ratio of lengths of the 3 parts be 3:4:5.

total length of the stick = 3x + 4x + 5x = 12x=96cm

so x=96/12 = 8cm

therefore the largest part of the stick (5x)= 5*8 =40cm

Answer:

f(x) = -4x + 80

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given two points,

(5, 60) and (10, 40)

in order to get the equation, let's use the form slope-intercept form

m = (y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2)

m = (60 - 40) / (5 - 10)

m = 20/-5

m = -4

Get the x intercept

y = mx + b

60 = (-4)(5) + b

b = 60+20

b = 80

so the equation is

y = -4x + 80

f(x) = -4x + 80
