An equation for the ellipse ( standard form ):
x²/a²  +  y²/b² = 1
Here is:  a - semi-major axis and b - semi-minor axis.
Radius of the moon is 1,000 km and the distance from the surface of the moon to the satellite varies from 953 km to 466 km.
a = 1,000 + 953 = 1,953 km
b = 1,000 + 466 = 1,466 km
Answer:
The equation is  x² / 1,953²  + y² / 1,466² = 1
or: x²/3,814,209  +   y²/2,149,156  = 1

What is the solution to the system graphed below?
Feliz [49]

Answer:

Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the solution to the system graphed below.

If a system of equation have 2 linear equation then the intersection point of both lines lines is the solution of the system of equations.

In the given graph two straight lines intersect each other at (-1,-1).

Point of intersection = (-1,-1)

So, by using the given graph we can conclude that the solution of given system of equations is (-1,-1).

Therefore, the correct option is D.
