Slope of the line is -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points are,

(-5.5,6.1),(-2.5,3.1)

Here,

$x_{1} = -5.5 ,\ \ \ x_{2}=-2.5\\y_{1} = 6.1,\ \ \ y_{2}=3.1$

Slope = m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x{1}}$

Putting values;

$m=\frac{3.1-6.1}{-2.5-(-5.5)}\\m=\frac{-3}{-2.5+5.5}\\m=\frac{-3}{3}\\m=-1$

Slope of the line is -1.

An equation for the ellipse ( standard form ):
x²/a² + y²/b² = 1
Here is: a - semi-major axis and b - semi-minor axis.
Radius of the moon is 1,000 km and the distance from the surface of the moon to the satellite varies from 953 km to 466 km.
a = 1,000 + 953 = 1,953 km
b = 1,000 + 466 = 1,466 km
Answer:
The equation is x² / 1,953² + y² / 1,466² = 1
or: x²/3,814,209 + y²/2,149,156 = 1
