What is the equation of the line that passes through point (4,12) and has a y-intercept of -2?

1 answer:

6 0

The general formula of an equation is $y=mx+b$ we are told that the y-intercept is -2 as such we have the following so far $y=mx-2$
to calculate the slope we do the following:
$y=mx-2 \\ 12=m(4)-2 \\ 12=4m-2 \\ 14=4m \\ m= \frac{14}{4}$
therefore the equation is
$y= \frac{14}{4}x-2$

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Mendeleev was the first scientist to arrange the element in such a periodic order but there was a mistake that he arranged in increasing order of mass.
Today we use the periodic table given by Henry Mosley where atomic no is first priority

Why does the Periodic Table have that separated part (lanthanides and actinides) at the bottom?

zepelin [54]

In the periodic table the lanthanoid and the actinides are place separately at the bottom because of their electronic configuration and their properties compared to the other elements.

The the lanthanoid and the actinides are place separately at the bottom in the periodic table due to their electronic configuration and the properties. and to make the periodic table more convenient . if we place the f block elements that is he lanthanoid and the actinides then the size of the periodic table will increase. the f block elements are called as the inner transition element.

Thus , to make the periodic table more convenient and to group the elements in the block the the lanthanoid and the actinides are place separately at the bottom.
