The answer is closer.

Parallax is used to determine how far a star is from earth by measuring its parallactic angle. If star a has a larger parallactic angle than star b, star a is closer than star b.

<h3>What is parallax?</h3>

When there is a difference in the direction of a celestial object as seen by an observer from two points which are widely separated, then this distance is termed as parallax.

This parallax measurement is used to find the distance of the body from Earth which is called Geocentric parallax and from the Sun which is called Heliocentric Parallax.

On a coordinate plane, a line goes through (negative 3, negative 3) and (negative 1, 5). What is the equation of the line parall
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

y=4x-16

Explanation:

The general form of the equation of a line is: y=mx+x, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.

Given points  (-3,-3) and (-1,5)

We are to find the equation of the line parallel to the given line with an x-intercept of 4.

First, we determine the value of the gradient of the line.

Gradient,

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\=\frac{5-(-3)}{-1-(-3)} \\=\frac{5+3}{-1+3}\\=\frac{8}{2}\\m=4

Two lines are parallel if their gradients m_1 \: and \: m_2 are equal.

The gradient of the line parallel to the given line m_2=4

Since the x-intercept of the new line is 4, a point on the new line, (x_1,y_1)=(4,0)

Substituting (x_1,y_1)=(4,0) into the equation of a line: , y-y_1=m(x-x_1),we have:

y-0=4(x-4)\\$Therefore:\\y=4x-16

Therefore, the equation of the line is: y=4x-16
