Answer:

 Unemployment (August) = 35'222/634'512 ≈ 0.0555 ≈ 5.55%

Employed (August) = 634'512-35'222 = 599'290

Labor force (September) = 634'512-156'518 = 477'994

Employed (September) = 599'290-206'024 = 393'266

Unemployed (September) = 477'994-393'266 = 84'728

Unemployment (September) = 84'728/477'994 ≈ 0.177 ≈ 17.7%

Passes through the points (−4, 2) and (12, 6)?
svlad2 [7]

<u>I'll assume you need to find the equation of the line that passes through those points.</u>

Answer:

\displaystyle y-2=\frac{1}{4}(x+4)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equation of a Line:</u>

The equation of a line passing through points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) can be found as follows:

\displaystyle y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)

The given points are (-4,2) and (12,6), thus:

\displaystyle y-2=\frac{6-2}{12+4}(x+4)

Operating:

\displaystyle y-2=\frac{4}{16}(x+4)

Simplifying, the equation in point-slope form is:

\mathbf{\displaystyle y-2=\frac{1}{4}(x+4)}

The diameter of the Sun is about 1.4 x 106 km. The diameter of the planet
den301095 [7]

Answer:

1.17*10²

Step-by-step explanation:

Diameter of the sun is about 1.4 × 10⁶ km

1.4*10⁶ km = 1,400,000

Diameter of the planet venus is about 12000 km

12000 km = 1.2 × 10⁴

Ratio of the diameters

Sun : Venus

1.4 × 10⁶ km : 1.2 × 10⁴

1.4 × 10⁶ km / 1.2 × 10⁴

1.4 / 1.2 × 10^6-4

1.166 × 10²

Approximately

1.17 × 10²
