Answer:
The period of Y increases by a factor of
with respect to the period of X
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation
shows the relationship between the orbital period of a planet, T, and the average distance from the planet to the sun, A, in astronomical units, AU. If planet Y is k times the average distance from the sun as planet X, at what factor does the orbital period increase?
For the planet Y:
For planet X:
To know the factor of aumeto we compared
with
We know that the distance "a" from planet Y is k times larger than the distance from planet X to the sun. So:
So
Then, the period of Y increases by a factor of
with respect to the period of X
Answer: 1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope - intercept form is given as :
y = mx + c , where :
m = slope
c = y - intercept
Given:
2y = 3x - 30
What we need to do is to write it in slope - intercept form, we will make y the subject of formula.
Divide the equation through by 2
2y/2 = 3x/2 - 30/2
y = 3x/2 - 15
comparing with y = mx + c
slope = 3/2 = 1.5
Graph the points and connect them and draw vertical lines in between them. You can already tell it's a function because every input has exactly on output.
