Find the slope of the line segment that joints the points A(2, -8) and B(-1, 16)

1 answer:

8 0

We need to use the Point slope formula to find the slope so we label
(2 , -8);(-1 , 16) subtract
x1 y1 x2 y2. y2-y1/x2-x1
16-(-8)/-1-2 = 24/-3 = -8
meaning the slope of this line is (-8)

Compare the surface area-to-volume ratios of the moon and mars. express your answer using two significant figures.

antoniya [11.8K]

we know that

For a spherical planet of radius r, the volume V and the surface area SA is equal to

$V=\frac{4}{3} *\pi *r^{3} \\ \\ SA=4*\pi *r^{2}$

The
ratio of these two quantities may be written as

$SAV =\frac{(4*\pi*r^{2})}{(\frac{4}{3}*\pi*r^{3})} \\ \\ SAV =\frac{3}{r}$

we know

$rMoon=1,738Km\\ rMars=3,397 Km$

$\frac{SAV Moon}{SAV Mars} =\frac{3}{rMoon} *\frac{rMars}{3} \\ \\ \frac{SAV Moon}{SAV Mars} =\frac{rMars}{rMoon} \\ \\ \frac{SAV Moon}{SAV Mars} =\frac{3,397}{1,738} \\ \\ \frac{SAV Moon}{SAV Mars} =1.9545$

therefore

the answer is

$1.9$
