If a 14-karat ring weighs 0.5 ounce, how many ounces of pure gold does it contain?

△cde maps to △stu with the transformations (x, y) arrowright (x − 2, y − 2) arrowright (3x, 3y) arrowright (x, −y). if cd = a + 1, de = 2a − 1, st = 2b + 3 and tu = b + 6, find the values of a and b. the value of a is and the value of b is .

What are the coordinates of the point is 1/4 of the way from a (-6, -3) to b (6, 1)? a. (-3, -2) b. (0, -2) c. (-1, 0) d. (3, 2)

Which line is parallel to the line that passes through the points (2, –5) and (–4, 1) a. y=-x+5 b. y=-2/3x+3 c. y=2/3x-2 d. y=x+5
