2x + 3y = 6
3y = - 2x + 6
y = -2/3x + 2....slope here is -2/3
A parallel line will have the same slope
y = mx + b
slope(m) = - 2/3
(-2,3)...x = -2 and y = 3
now we sub, we r looking for b, the y intercept
3 = -2/3(-2) + b
3 = 4/3 + b
3 - 4/3 = b
9/3 - 4/3 = b
5/3 = b
ur equation is : y = -2/3x + 5/3 (slope intercept form)
y = -2/3x + 5/3
2/3x + y = 5/3
2x + 3y = 5 (standard form)
Answer:
0.049168726 light-years
Step-by-step explanation:
The apparent brightness of a star is
where
<em>L = luminosity of the star (related to the Sun)
</em>
<em>d = distance in ly (light-years)
</em>
The luminosity of Alpha Centauri A is 1.519 and its distance is 4.37 ly.
Hence the apparent brightness of Alpha Centauri A is
According to the inverse square law for light intensity
where
light intensity at distance
light intensity at distance
Let
be the distance we would have to place the 50-watt bulb, then replacing in the formula
Remark: It is worth noticing that Alpha Centauri A, though is the nearest star to the Sun, is not visible to the naked eye.
Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
Positives cannot point at negatives I think.
