Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Pollution can be defined as the introduction of harmful substances (man-made or natural) into the environment.
There are four major types of pollution:
1. Land pollution
2. Water pollution
3. Air pollution
4. Noise pollution
Land pollution refers to the gradual disintegration of the earth surface.
Causes of land pollution
1. Deforestation: The continuous cutting down of trees in the forest.
2. Erosion: The gradual disintegration of soil caused by the action of water.
3. Harmful agricultural practices such as bush burning, introducing toxic substances such as pesticides into the soil
4. Increased industrial waste due to increase in the number of industries
5. Mining of natural resources from the earth surface
6. Construction of bridges, railways and roads
Answer:
y = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
The standard form of equation of a line is y = mx+b
m is the slope
b is the y intercept
Get the coordinate of the point of interception of the line 2x - y = 9 and 3x - 7y = 19
Make y the subject of the formula in both expressions
For 2x - y = 9
- y = 9- 2x
y = 2x - 9
Similarly for 3x - 7y = 19
-7y = 19 - 3x
7y = 3x - 19
y = 3/7 x - 19/7
Equating both expressions
2x - 9 = 3/7 x - 19/7
Multiply through ny 7
14x - 63 = 3x - 19
14x - 3x = -19 + 63
11x = 44
x = 44/11
x = 4
Since y =2x - 9
y = 2(4) - 9
y = 8-9
y = -1
Hence the coordinate of intersection is at (4, -1)
Get the equation of the line passing through (-3, -1) and (4, -1)
Slope m = -1+1/4+3
m = 0/7
m = 0
Get the intercept
Substitute m = 0 and (-3, -1) into y = mx+b
-1 = 0(-3) + b
-1 = b
b = -1
Get the required equation
Recall that y = mx + b
y = 0x + (-1)
y = -1
Hence the required equation is y = -1
B= the square root of 65
Formula: a^2= c*2-b^2
a^2= 81-16= 65
Once you find the square root of 65, thats your answer, but here they want you to keep it as 65.
Hope this helps!
