Since both trapezoids are similar, so LMNO is a scaled version of QRST by some magnitude
so we can easily use the concept of ratios to find x
in other words: x÷2=6÷5
so x=6×2÷5=12/5=2.4
x=2.4
Use the point slope equation: y - y1 = m(x - x1)
(-1, -3); m = 4
Plug these numbers in.
y - (-3) = 4(x - -1)
y + 3 = 4x + 4
y = 4x + 1
14) You would put 14 over unknown is poportional to 40 over 100. Then multiply 14 by 100 then divide it by 40 to receive 35.
The weight of the object is only dependent on the strength of gravity on that particular object.
