Compare and contrast the Moon and the moons of other planets.

1 answer:

7 0

The Moon of the Earth has some similarities, but also lot of differences with the other natural satellites in the Solar system.

The Moon is rocky, covered with dust, has lot of craters from asteroids and meteorites. Most of the planets in the solar system are actually gassy, frozen, and the craters tend to be very rare.

Compared to the planet around which it spins, the Earth, the Moon is actually very large, even though it is nowhere as large as some other moons in the Solar System. All the other moons tend to be much smaller in comparison the the planets around which they spin.

The Moon also has very low gravitational pull and very small mass for its size, and the reason for that is still not clear. All the other moons have gravitational pulls and masses that are expected by their size.

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

Reforestation:- people from Brazil and around the world are making efforts to help protect and maintain the Amazon Rainforest by planting and replacing trees.

Sustainable forestry:- recent preservation efforts by both the Brazilian government and international organizations have focused on working with local communities that make a living from cleared forest land.
Non-governmental organizations:- as concerns about global warming and carbon deduction have increased, countries around the world have started to consider deforestation in the Amazon as a global problem
The Individual helps:- one way to help an individual is turning off lights also is also important to recycle paper and paper products
