Answer:

a) b = -5

b) slope = 3/2

Explanation:

a) The equation of a line is given as y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the intercept on the y axis.

Given that y = 3x + b and it passes through the point (2, 1). Hence when x = 2, y = 1. Therefore, substituting for x and y:

1 = 3(2) + b

1 = 6 + b

b = 1 - 6

b = -5

b) The equation of a line passing through two points ( $x_1,y_1$ ) and $x_2,y_2$ is given by:

$y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)$

The equation of the line passing through the two points (0,3) and (4,9) is:

$y-3=\frac{9-3}{4-0}(x-0)\\ \\y-3=\frac{3}{2}x\\ \\y = \frac{3}{2}x+3$

Comparing y = (3/2)x + 3 with y = mx + b, the slope (m) is 3/2

Which circuit is a series circuit ?? plz help

gregori [183]

In a series circuit, all of the components are connected in the same 'loop' and the current only has one direction/path it can flow through.

In the first three options, the current has multiple paths it can go through. So these three circuits are parallel and not series.

In the last option, the current only has one path where it can flow through, so that circuit is in series.

So Circuit D is a series circuit.

A skateboarder, starting from rest, rolls down a 12.8-m ramp. When she arrives at the bottom of the ramp her speed is 8.89 m/s.

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

a) a = 3.09 m/s²

b) aₓ = 2.60 m/s²

Explanation:

a) The magnitude of her acceleration can be calculated using the following equation:

$V_{f}^{2} = V_{0}^{2} + 2ad$

Where:

$V_{f}$ : is the final speed = 8.89 m/s

$V_{0}$ : is the initial speed = 0 (since she starts from rest)

a: is the acceleration

d: is the distance = 12.8 m

$a = \frac{V_{f}^{2}}{2d} = \frac{(8.89 m/s)^{2}}{2*12.8 m} = 3.09 m/s^{2}$

Therefore, the magnitude of her acceleration is 3.09 m/s².

b) The component of her acceleration that is parallel to the ground is given by:

$a_{x} = a*cos(\theta)$

Where:

θ: is the angle respect to the ground = 32.6 °

$a_{x} = 3.09 m/s^{2}*cos(32.6) = 2.60 m/s^{2}$

Hence, the component of her acceleration that is parallel to the ground is 2.60 m/s².

I hope it helps you!

List the levels of classification in order from most broad (largest number of organisms) to most specific (smallest number of or

Tju [1.3M]

Every organism may classified into seven level of classifications, such that each level contains organisms with similar characteristics. Kingdom is the largest and the broadest level of classification while species is the smallest and most specific level of classification. Therefore from the largest to the smallest the order is as follows:
Kingdom
Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Genus
Species

Gaining neutrons makes an element?

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

C. Have no change in electrical charge

Explanation:

If a element gains neutron it become an Isotope. The electrical charge do not change for this, only the atomic mass changes when an element gains neutrons.

The electrical charge is affected when there is a variation in the number of electrons or protons in the element.

*URGENT* Why is understanding motion so important? Be sure to explain in your own words.

levacccp [35]

Answer:

Motion is one of the important issues of Physics. We know that if we are not moving but still earth is moving. Motion is a bit of the machinist's Department of Physics. Several laws are provided for explaining the theory of motion and evolution in motion. The motion and transformation are defined in terms of strength which is wanted for creating an object in a motion state.
