General equation of Ellipse centered at (h,k) is given as
where a is the radius along x-axis
and b is radius along y-axis.
Given : The equation of elliptical path of Earth as
Comparing the equation with the general equation, we get
(h,k) as (-2.5,0)
a =
b =
We have the Sun located at the coordinate (0,0).
Hence, the distance between Sun and Earth in July = 149.5 + 2.5 =152
∴ Earth's distance from the Sun in July is 152 million kilometers.
Answer:
The slope of a line parallel to this line will be: -7/9
The slope of the perpendicular line will be:
Step-by-step explanation:
We know the slope-intercept form
Here,
Given the equation
simplifying to write in the lope-intercept form
Thus, the slope of the line is: -7/9
The slope of a line parallel to the line:
We have already determined that the slope of the line is: -7/9
Thus, the slope of a line parallel to this line will be: -7/9
The slope of a line perpendicular to the line:
We have already determined that the slope of the line is: -7/9
As we know that the slope of the perpendicular line is basically the negative reciprocal of the slope of the line.
Thus, the slope of the perpendicular line will be:
