Answer:

A magnitude 8 earthquake is 1,000 times more intense than a magnitude 5 earthquake.

A magnitude 8 earthquake is 108 times more intense than a standard earthquake, while a magnitude 5 earthquake is 105 times more intense than a standard earthquake, and

108 ÷ 105 = 103.

Each unit increase on the Richter scale corresponds to an intensity increase by a factor of 10. So from 5 to 8 on the Richter scale, the intensity increases by 103 = 1,000

Find the slope and y-intercept.<br><br> a. y = 3x - 4 b. 4x - 5y = 15
sweet [91]
To understand problems like these, we must understand how Slope Intercept Form (SIF) works, and how to solve an equation.

<span>A
</span>
SIF is "y=mx+b" where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.

y='m'x+''b''
y='3'x-''4''

We can see that in this equation, the slope is 3/1 or 3, and the y-intercept is -4.

<u>B
</u>
For this one, we must solve for "y," and then proceed with the same thing we did in Part A.

 4x-5y=15
-4x       -4x
-5y=-4x+15
/-5       /-5
y='4/5'x-"3"

Using the math above, we can see that the slope is 4/5, and the y-intercept is -3.
