Answer:

Percentage error is 0.0024 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial average distance between Earth and moon = 384467 km  

Distance measure by the scientist = 384476 km

Total variation in the distance calculation = 384476 – 384467 = 9 km.

Now we can find the percentage by dividing the variation in distance from the initial measurement and then multiply with hundred.

Percentage error = ( 9 /  384467 ) × 100 = 0.0024 %

Write an equation of the line passing through point P(−2, 6) that is parallel to the line x=−5.
andriy [413]

Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The line x = - 5 means it is a straight vertical line that has no slope. This means that the slope is undefined.

Now, for this line to be parallel to the line passing through point P(−2, 6), it means the line will be a vertical line too with the equation of form (x = a).

Thus, the equation of the line is x = -2
