Answer: 62.5 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: An astronaut weighs 170 pounds on Earth but only 68 pounds on Mars.

The weight of the rock sample on Mars = 25 pounds

Since the  "Weight of object on Mars"is directly proportional to "Weight of object on Earth".

\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{\text{Weight of rock sample on Earth }}{\text{Weight of rock sample on Mars}}=\dfrac{\text{Weight of astronaut on Earth}}{\text{Weight of astronaut on Mars}}\\\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{\text{Weight of rock sample on Earth }}{25}=\dfrac{170}{68}\\\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Weight of rock sample on Earth }=\dfrac{170\times25}{68}=62.5

Hence, the eight of the rock sample on Earth = 62.5 pounds

The ratio of the man's weights on Earth and Mars should be equal to the ratio of the rocks weight on Earth and Mars. By letting x be the stone's weight on Earth, the equation that best describe the condition is,
                      (170 pounds / 68 pounds) = (x pounds / 25 pounds)
The value of x is 62.5 pounds. If the units of the choices in the pounds then, it is not among the choices.

Need help with part c
Artyom0805 [142]
First understand that this is a linear graph. Find 2 points on the graph. We can use (0,1) and (3,-3).

Look at how much the x increases, in this case the x value increases by 0+3, so 3.

Then see how much the y value increases (make sure to evaluate them in the same order) 1 + (-3) = -2.

So you know that the y value decreases by 2 units for every 3 unit increase in x. Therefore the slope is y=(-2/3)x

Then figure out what you add to the end. The y intercept is (0,1), so add 1 to the end of y=(-2/3)x to move it up.

Your resulting eq is y=(-2/3)x+1
