Answer:

y  =  \frac{2}{3}x

Explanation:

Given parameters:

  Coordinates  = (-6, -4)

   Equation of a the line; 3y = 2x - 6

Unknown:

Equation of the line parallel to this line  = ?

Solution:

The equation of any straight line is expressed as;

              y  = mx  + c

y and x are the coordinate

 m is the slope  

c is the intercept of the y - axis

Now from the equation, let us find the slope;

   3y = 2x - 6

     y  = \frac{2}{3} x - \frac{6}{3}

    y  =  \frac{2}{3} x - 2

The slope is  \frac{2}{3}

Parallel lines are lines that never meets. Therefore they have the same slope;

  the slope of the new line is  \frac{2}{3}

Now,

  for the new line, we need to find the intercept;

        since y = mx + c,

     y  = -4 and x = -6;

           -4 =  \frac{2}{3} x (-6) + c

          - 4  = -4 + c

           c= 0

The equation of the new line is;

            y  =  \frac{2}{3}x

Ancients noticed patterns in the motion of objects in the sky, which led to the development of units of time, like hours, days,
sukhopar [10]

Answer: Polaris

Options:

the moon

the sun

Polaris

Sirius, the dog star

Explanation:

Polaris, also known as the North Star is a star in the Ursa Minor. It is the brightest in this Constellation and when observed over a long period of time, it seems to stays in the same position.  

The angle at which Polaris is observed will be similar to the latitude of the observer’s location. For instance if it is seen to be 35 degrees above the horizon, the observer’s location is at a latitude of roughly 35 degrees.

This is due to the closeness of the Polaris to the North Celestial Pole, the axis of the stars in the Northern Sky. As the earth rotates, this creates the appearance that Polaris is stationary.

Reason why the international dateline is significant
andreev551 [17]
The International Date Line, established in 1884, passes through the mid-Pacific Ocean and roughly follows a 180 degrees longitude north-south line on the Earth. It is located halfway round the world from the prime meridian—the zero degrees longitude established in Greenwich, England, in 1852.

The International Date Line functions as a “line of demarcation” separating two consecutive calendar dates. When you cross the date line, you become a time traveler of sorts! Cross to the west and it’s one day later; cross back and you’ve “gone back in time."
