The distance between two positions with longitudes A and B is given by ||A| - |B|| if the two positions are at the same side of the meridian (0 degrees longitude) and |A| + |B| if both positions are at different sides of the meridian.

Given that <span>Moscow is at 37.62 degrees longitude and Brasilia is at -47.87 degrees longitude, thus the two cities are at different sides of the meridian.

Therefore, the distance </span><span>(in degrees) between the longitude lines of Moscow and Brasilia</span> is |37.62| + |-47.87| = 37.62 + 47.87 = 85.49

zvonat [6]

Answer:

  24.  see below for a drawing with axis intercepts labeled

  30.  the plane is parallel to the y-z plane. It is "x=4". The only axis intercept is (4, 0, 0).

Step-by-step explanation:

24. The axis intercepts are fairly easily found. You can do it a couple of ways.

<u>first way</u>

  • Set other variables to zero and divide by the coefficient of the variable of interest.

For 3x +5y +15z = 15, the x-intercept can be found by setting y and z to zero. This gives ...

  3x = 15

so, dividing by 3 tells you the x-intercept is ...

  x = 15/3 = 5

Likewise, the y- and z-intercepts are, respectively, ...

  y = 15/5 = 3

  z = 15/15 = 1

So, the points where the plane crosses the axes are ...

  (5, 0, 0), (0, 3, 0), (0, 0, 1) . . . . axes intercepts

__

<u>second way</u>

  • Divide by the constant on the right, and express all coefficients as denominators

Doing that gives ...

\dfrac{3x+5y+15z}{15}=1\\\\\dfrac{x}{5}+\dfrac{y}{3}+\dfrac{z}{1}=1

The denominators are the corresponding intercepts. (This is called the "intercept form" of the equation of the plane.)

From the above equation, we see the axis intercepts are ...

  (5, 0, 0), (0, 3, 0), (0, 0, 1) . . . . same as above

Actually, the math for these two methods is virtually identical. The second way does it "all at once", so can take fewer steps. Effectively, you're doing the math of the "first way" and expressing the result in the denominator.

__

Please note that when a variable is missing, there is no intercept for that axis. That is, the plane is parallel to that axis. (In problem 30, for example, the y- and z-variables are missing. The plane x=4 is parallel to the y- and z-axes (the y-z plane).)

_____

In the first attached drawing, the x-axis is red, the y-axis is green, and the z-axis is blue. The labeling of the points is difficult to see, but the axes are a different (lighter) color behind the plane than in front of it. This plane forms a triangle in the first octant (x, y, z > 0).

In the second attached drawing, the x=0 plane is blue; the y=0 plane is green, and the z=0 plane is red. The plane of the equation is yellow. This figure better shows the triangle in the first octant.

3-D graph paper (isometric graph paper) grids are available with a web search. Such might make it easier to draw the planes you need to draw. (See the third attachment for one example.)

Write the equation of each line using the given information.
Marat540 [252]

A. The equation of the line is y = -0.2 x + 1.9

B. The equation of the line is y = 4 x + 3

C. The equation of the line is y = -8

D. The equation of the line is y = 2 x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is y = m x + b, where

m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept

  • The formula of the slope of a line which passes through points (x_{1},y_{1}) and (x_{2},y_{2}) is m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}
  • The slope of a horizontal line whose equation y = b is zero
  • The y-intercept means the line intersect the y-axis at point (0 , b)

A.

∵ The line passes through points (2 , 1.5) and (-5 , 36.5)

∴ x_{1} = 2 and x_{2} = -5

∴ y_{1} = 1.5 and y_{2} = 36.5

∵ m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

∴ m=\frac{-5-2}{36.5-1.5}=\frac{-7}{35}=\frac{-1}{5}

∴ m = -0.2

∵ y = m x + b

∵ m = -0.2

∴ y = -0.2 x + b

- To find b substitute x and y in the equation by the coordinates of

  one of the two given points

∵ x = 2 and y = 1.5

∴ 1.5 = -0.2(2) + b

∴ 1.5 = - 0.4 + b

- Add 0.4 to both sides

∴ 1.9 = b

∴ y = -0.2 x + 1.9

The equation of the line is  y = -0.2 x + 1.9

B.

∵ m = 4

∵ y = m x + b

∴ y = 4 x + b

∵ Point (3 , 15) lies on the line

- To find b substitute x and y in the equation by the coordinates

  of the given point

∵ x = 3 and y = 15

∴ 15 = 4(3) + b

∴ 15 = 12 + b

- Subtract 12 from both sides

∴ 3 = b

∴ y = 4 x + 3

The equation of the line is y = 4 x + 3

C.

∵ The line has the same slope of line y = 1

- The line whose equation y = 1 is a horizontal line

∵ The slope of the line y = 1 is zero because it is a horizontal line

∴ m = zero

∵ y = m x + b

∴ The equation of the line is y = (0)x + b

∴ y = b

∵ The line passes through point (3 , -8)

- In the horizontal line the y-coordinates of all point lie on the line

  are equal

∴ The line intersect the y-axis at point (0 , -8)

∴ b = -8

∴ y = -8

The equation of the line is y = -8

D.

∵ m = 2

∵ y-intercept is at point (0 , 4)

∴ b = 4

∵ y = m x + b

∴ y = 2 x + 4

The equation of the line is y = 2 x + 4
