On a number line, the coordinates of x, y, z, and w are negative 8, negative 6, 1, and 5, respectively. find the lengths of the two segments below. then tell whether they are congruent. xy and zw

Consider the coordinates of​ X, Y,​ Z, and W.

The given coordinates are X= -8​, Y = -6​,Z= -1​ and W= -5.

We have to determine the length of segments XY and ZW.

XY = Y - X = -6-(-8) = -6 + 8 = 2 units

ZW = W - Z = -5-(-1) = -5+1 = -4 units

Since, the length of the segments are not equal.

Hence, XY and ZW are not congruent.

answer set (b) 0.5, 3/4 80% is in order from least to greatest.  

step-by-step explanation:

in order to compare rational numbers to each other, it is much easier if they are in the same form.   typically, the best form in which to evaluate rational numbers is in decimals.   in order to convert a percent to a decimal, you would divide the given percentage by 100.   you can also accomplish the conversion by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.   for example, the decimal value of 80% is 80/100, or 0.8.   in order to convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.   for example, 3/4 is 0.75.   so, for choice (b) 0.5 3/4 (0.75), 80% (0.8) is the only choice in which the numbers are in order from least to greatest.
