I graphed the points. 

It forms an imaginary right triangle where JK serves as the hypotenuse. We simply use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for the measure of the segment.

long leg: -3 to 4 = 7 units
short leg: -2 to 4 = 6 units

c² = a² + b²
c² = 7² + 6²
c² = 49 + 36
c² = 85
c = √85
c = 9.22 or 9

9/4 = 2.25
2.25 * 3 = 6.75

Among the given choices, (2.25,-0.5) is the closest point of L to the segment JK

Answer:

The correct option is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of end points of a line segment are (-3,4) and (4,-2).

Using section formula.

(x,y)=(\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n}, \frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n})

It is given that point L such that JL and KL form a 3:1 ratio.

(x,y)=(\frac{3(4)+1(-3)}{3+1}, \frac{3(-2)+1(4)}{3+1})

(x,y)=(\frac{9}{4}, \frac{-2}{4})

(x,y)=(2.25, -0.5)

Therefore the correct option is 3.

What is the total value in cents of x quarters, y nickels, and z pennies?
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

25x + 5y + z cents

Step-by-step explanation:

1 quarter is worth 25 cents.

1 nickel is worth 5 cents.

1 penny is worth 1 cent.

Therefore, x quarters, y nickels and x pennies will be worth:

(x * 25) + (y * 5) + (z * 1)

= 25x + 5y + z cents

Jane moved from a house with 66 square feet of closet space to an apartment with 34.98 square feet of closet space. What is the
Kryger [21]

There is a 47% decrease in Jane's closet space.

Step-by-step explanation:

Old measurement of closet = 66 square feet

New measurement of closet = 34.98 square feet

Change = New value - Old value

Change = 34.98 - 66 = -31.02 square feet

The negative sign indicates the decrease.

Decrease percent = \frac{Change}{Old\ value}*100

Decrease\ percent=\frac{31.02}{66}*100 = \frac{3102}{66}\\Decrease\ percent=47\%

There is a 47% decrease in Jane's closet space.

Keywords: decrease, percentage

Use your knowledge of similar triangles to explain why the construction in the image divides the line segment into equal parts.
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

This image show 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.
