Answer: 1/5 and -1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the y-intercept , we put x=0 in the equation;

y=5x -1

y = 5(0) -1

y = -1

To find th x-intercept, we put y=0 in the equation;

y=5x-1

(0) =5x-1

5x =1

Divide bothside by 5

5x/5 = 1/5

x = 1/5

The y - intercept is -1 and the

x-intercept is 1/5

X intercept y = 0
5x - 1 = 0

x = 1/5

y intercept x =0
y = - 1

answer
x intercept (1/5, 0)
y intercept (0, -1)

One astronomical unit is about 93,000,000 miles. At 20,000 miles per hour how many astronomical units can Orion travel? ( Orion

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

$2.15\times 10^{-4}\ AU$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:-

The speed of the orion= 20,000 miles per hour

Time = 1 hour ( From source )

Thus,

Distance = Speed * Time = 20,000*1 miles = 20,000 miles

Thus, in 1 hour, the orion can travel 20,000 miles

Also,

93,000,000 miles = 1 astronomical unit

1 mile = 1/93,000,000 astronomical unit

20,000 miles = (1/93,000,000)*20,000 astronomical unit

The orion can travel $2.15\times 10^{-4}$ AU in one hour.
