Answer:

b : a = 1 : 4

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{ a + b}{ a - b}$ = $\frac{5}{3}$

3 ( a + b) = 5 ( a - b)

3 a + 3 b = 5 a - 5 b

5 b + 3 b = 5 a - 3 a

8 b = 2 a

$\frac{b}{a}$ = $\frac{2}{8}$

b : a = 1 : 4

Suppose that x and y vary inversely and that y = 5 when x = 1. What is y when x = 15?

LiRa [457]

Answer:

Y=1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

X=k/y

So let's make k the subject of formula

k=xy

x=1,y=5

So let's substitute

k=1×5

k=5

So we are to determine the value for y when x is 15

So let's solve

Y=k/x

Y=5/15

Y=1/3

Y=0.333333~0.3

A quadrilateral PQRS is translated to the left by 4 units to obtain another quadrilateral P᾿Q᾿R᾿S᾿

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

the length of PQ is equal to the length of P'Q'

Step-by-step explanation:

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation are reflection, rotation, translation and dilation.

Translation is the movement of a point either up, down, right or left. Translation is a type of rigid transformation. Rigid transformation is a transformation in which both the image and pre-image have the same shape and size. types of rigid transformation are rotation, reflection and translation.

Quadrilateral PQRS is translated to the left by 4 units to obtain another quadrilateral P᾿Q᾿R᾿S᾿. Since translation is a rigid transformation, the shape and size of PQRS is the same as that of P'Q'R'S. Hence the length of PQ is equal to the length of P'Q'.
