Answer:

None of these

Step-by-step explanation:

Normally, we consider "weight" to be the force due to gravity that an object exerts in the downward direction. It has a positive value equal to the magnitude of "mg". In this instance, it would be ...

... |(10 kg)·(-9.8 N/kg)| = |-98 N| = 98 N

___

However, you're specifically told to use ...

... w = mg

... w = (10 kg)(-9.8 m/s²) = -98 N

This selection is not among those offered.

<h2>Answer: Step-by-step explanation</h2><h3>STEP 1</h3>

$slope = \frac{rise}{run}\\\\m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

<h3 /><h3>STEP 2</h3><h3>Substitute point values into the slope equation.</h3><h3> $m = \frac{10 - 7}{5 - 0} = \frac{3}{5}$ </h3><h3></h3><h3>STEP 3</h3><h3>Point-slope form.</h3><h3> $y - y1 = m (x - x1)$ </h3><h3></h3><h3>STEP 4</h3><h3>Substitute any point on the line and the slope for x1, y1, m</h3><h3> $y - 7 = \frac{3}{5} (x - 0)$ </h3><h3></h3><h3>Result</h3><h3> $\\y - 7 = \frac{3}{5}x$ </h3>
