Answer:

Out of the 3 that were listed, the "conversion" that is invalid is 1 meter = 10 millimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

First: Well, for something like this, you don't really need steps, you just need to know how to do process of elimination and also your conversions:

We know that 1 meter is 100 centimeters

We know 1 kilometer is 1000 meters

We know that 1 meter is 10 millim....... Wait. Do we know that?

No! 1 meter is not 10 millimeters, it's 1000 millimeters. So 1 meter = 10 millimeters is invalid.

If you ever need a converter, use this link: https://www.google.com/search?q=centimeters+to+inches&rlz=1CAFQZI_enCA835&oq=centim&aqs=chrome.2.69i57j0l5.9328j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Answer:

1 meter/10 millimeters is not a valid conversion factor

Step-by-step explanation:

The following conversion factors are valid

1 meter = 100 centimeters

1 mL = 1cm

1 kilometer = 1000 meters

The only conversion factor that is not valid is 1metre = 10millimeter

1meter in millimetres is the same as 10 in 3places not in one place as given in question.

1metres = (10×10×10)mm

1metres = 1000mm

The valid conversion factor is therefore 1m = 1000mm not 1metre = 10mm

Which is the same as diving a number by 10?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

well i guess if the decimal is on the left you would move it to the right twice

because if you only moved it once it'd become 1.0

and if you moved it to the left once it would also become 1.0

and if you moved it twice to the left you would be left with .10

Write an equation in standard form of the line that passes through the given points:

Dafna1 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form for a line is Ax+By=C

First, we need to find the slope, or change in y over change in x. For the first one, this is

$\frac{6-(-2)}{2-2}$ , which is impossible to find as we cannot divide by 0, meaning that this is constant horizontally -- in this case, x=2. Thus, we have 1*x+0*y=2.

For the second one, we can find the slope by getting

$\frac{0-4}{3-(-3)} =\frac{-4}{6 } = \frac{-2}{3}$ . We can then take the point (3,0) (it can be any point on the line) and get our equation to be y-0 = (-2/3) (x-3). Converting this to standard form, we can expand this to get

y= (-2/3)*x +2

(-2/3)*x+1*y = 2
