Let ping pong ball be called PPB
To solve this problem you must know the following unit change
1km = 1000m
1m = 100cm
Then, applying the change of units, we have that the length in kilometers is:
6.02x10 ^ 23PPB x 4.0cm / 1PPB x 1m / 100cm x 1km / 1000m = 2.41 x 10 ^ 19 km

The length is determined by multiplying the number of balls with the diameter. The answer that would come out of this is in units of centimeters.

L = (6.02 x 10^23 balls)(4 cm/ball)
L = 2.408 x 10^24 cm

Then, we use the proper conversion factor to convert centimeter to kilometer.

L = (2.408 x 10^24 cm)(1 m/100 cm)(1 km/1000 m)
L = (2.408 x 10^24)(10^5)

The answer to this item is 2.408 x 10^19 km.

Find the equation of the line.

Stells [14]

To find the equation of the line, we need to figure out the slope and y-intercept.

To find the y-intercept, look at the number where the line intersects the y-axis. The number is 5. The equation so far is y = ?x + 5.

We still didn't figure out the slope yet. To figure out the slope, pick two points. Use the rise over run method. It is in the image below. The line is going up to the left, so the slope will be negative. Now we know the slope is -1/3. The equation now that we figured out the slope is y = -1/3x + 5.

I hope this helps you! Let me know if I got something wrong.
