<span>The ratio of an object's weight on Earth to its weight on Neptune is 5 : 7
So,
We can use proportions to find out the weight of a person on Neptune.
Lets start:
E refers to Earth
N refers to Neptune

Therefore,
E:N = 5:7
Converting them into fractions:
E/N = 5/7
Substituting the value of weight on earth.
150/N = 5/7
Solving for N.
5 N = 150 x 7
5 N = 1050
N = 1050/5
N = 210 pounds.

Hence,the right answer is option : 
</span><span>C) 210 pounds.</span>

5/7 = 150/x
5x = 1050
x = 1050/5
x = 210 lbs <===

What is the general form of the equation of the line shown?
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Option A is correct.

General form of the equation of the line:  y-2 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of the equation is given by:

y = mx +b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

y-intercepts of the line is the value of y at the point where the line crosses the y-axis(i.e x= 0)

From the given figure;

we can see that the line crosses the y-axis at y =2  and also here the slope is , m= 0

therefore, by definition of y-intercepts

y-intercept (b) = 2

Therefore, the equation of line as shoen in figure is:

y = (0)x + 2

or

y = 2

y-2 = 0

Therefore, the general form of the equation line as shown in the figure is:

y-2 =0
