100pts: Why was obsidian used to make scalpels?

Mathematics

Answer: Obsidian has been used as a cutting tool since the Stone Age, but modern versions of obsidian scalpels are manufactured by a Virginia archaeologist using a pressure flaking process. Each knife can be used from 10 to 20 times before being discarded, Green says. He keeps his blades in a cold sterilizing solution to preserve their sharpness.

Answer:

Research also confirms that incisions carried out with obsidian produce narrower scars and fewer inflammatory cells. This is because on cellular level, obsidian knife cuts between cells rather than tearing it in case of a steel knife, hence, a sharper cut allows the wound to heal more easily with negligible scarring.

Which equation represents the line that passes through the points (4, 6) and (−2, −1)?
KatRina [158]

Find the slope first by using rise/run

m=\frac{6-(-1)}{4-(-2)}\\m=\frac{6+1}{4+2}\\m=\frac{7}{6}

y=mx+b\\y=\frac{7}{6}x+b

We need to find the y-intercept. Substituting one of given ordered pairs. I will use (-2,-1).

Substitute x = -2 and y = -1 in the equation.

-1=\frac{7}{6}(-2)+b\\-1=\frac{7}{-3}+b\\-1=-\frac{7}{3}+b\\-1+\frac{7}{3}=b\\b=\frac{4}{3}

Thus the y-intercept is 4/3.

From y = mx+b, the equation is.

y=\frac{7}{6}x+\frac{4}{3}
