Do the ratios 11/15 and 1/6 form a proportion?

Answer: No, the ratios 11/15 and 1/6 do not form a proportion.

Explanation: Proportion says that two ratios (or fractions) are equal.

Example:

Proportion 1/3 : 2/6

So 1-out-of-3 is equal to 2-out-of-6

The ratios are the same, so they are in proportion.

If I multiplied 1 by 11 and then 6 by 11, I would get 11/66, therefore 11/15 and 1/6 do not form a proportion.

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagrammatic illustration of the problem. Is attached

The diaabcw between Aaron and Jessica can be obtained using Pythagoras :

d = √(10² - 8²)

d = √100 - 64

d = √36

d = 6

Given ΔABC with A(–4, –2), B(4, 4), and C(18, –8), write the equation for the line containing median segment The term is line se

Monica [59]

Here we want to find the equation of the line containing the median CP.

P, being the midpoint of AB can be found using the midpoint formula as:

$\displaystyle{ P=( \frac{-4+4}{2} , \frac{-2+4}{2} )=(0, 1)$ .

The slope m of the line through CP can be found by the slope formula using points C(18, -8) and P(0, 1):

$\displaystyle{ m= \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}= \frac{-8-1}{18-0}= \frac{-9}{18}= \frac{-1}{2}$ .

Now, we can write the equation of the line with slope -1/2, passing through
P(0, 1):

$y-1= \frac{-1}{2}(x-0)\\\\y= -\frac{1}{2}x+1$ .

Answer: $y=-\frac{1}{2}x+1$

Show work please for number 2

Pavlova-9 [17]

The combined distance between CD and DE is CE, so...

2x+4 + 6 = x+14 Simplify like terms..

2x + 10 = x + 14 Subtract x from both sides..

x + 10 = 14 Subtract 10 from both sides...

Proof: 2 (4) + 4 + 6 = 4 + 14

8 + 10 = 18
