Y = 1/3x - 2.
If you sub in 0, you’ll get (0, -2) which is the y intercept.
In this case we are dealing with the pythagorean theorm involving right angled triangles. This theorm states that a^2 + b^2 = c^2 which means the square of the hypotenuse (side c, opposite the right angle) is equal to the square of the remaining two sides.
In this case we will say that a = 3963 miles which is the radius of the earth. c is equal to the radius of the earth plus the additional altitude of the space station which is 250 miles; therefore, c = 4213 miles. We must now solve for the value b which is equal to how far an astronaut can see to the horizon.
(3963)^2 + b^2 = (4213)^2
b^2 = 2,044,000
b = 1430 miles.
The astronaut can see 1430 miles to the horizon.
<u>Answer:</u>
-10,1,19
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
<u></u>
x+y+z = 10 (Equation 1)
2y-x= 12 (Equation 2)
x-y+2z = 7 (Equation 3)
(Equation 2): -x = -2y+12
x = 2y-12 (Equation 4)
(Equation 1) - (Equation 3): 2y-z = 3
-z = -2y+3
z = 2y-3 (Equation 5)
Substitute (4) and (5) into (1)
x+y+z = 10
(2y-12)+y+(2y-3) = 10
5y-15 = 10
5y = 5
y=1
Substitute y=1 into (2)
2y-x= 12
2(1)-x= 12
2-x= 12
-x= 12-2
-x= 10
x= -10
Substitute y=1 and x=-10 into (1)
x+y+z = 10
-10+1+z = 10
z-9 = 10
z = 10+9
z = 19
Order: x = -10, y = 1, and z = 19
