Answer: 52,416,000 km

Step-by-step explanation:

If a comet travels 273,000 km/hr

1) Multiply 273,000 km by 24 hours to find how far the comet travels in one day

2) multiply the answer from 1 by 8 to determine how far it travels in 8 days

1) $\frac{273,000 km}{hr}$ * $\frac{24 hr}{1 day}$ = $\frac{6,552,000km}{day}$ (hours cancel out)

2) $\frac{6,552,000km}{day}$ *8 day= 52,416,000 km in 8 days

The comet approximately travelled 52,416,000km from when it began to travel to when it reached Earth. Hope this helped :)

Answer:

y=3/-1x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay so first thing you need to know is that if there is an ordered pair (x, y) where x is 0, your y-intercept is your y. For example, your problem has (0, 4) your x is 0 and your y is 4. Therefore your y-intercept is 4 which is the b. To find your mx, or slope, you need to do (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). Your y2 will be your y in your second ordered pair and your y1 will be in your y in the first ordered pair. Same for your x. So, (4-1)/(0-1) which equals 3/-1. 3/-1 is your slope. So, your answer in slop intercept form is: y= 3/-1x+4. You could also try y= -3x+4 if that makes you more comfortable.

I know this is long this is my first time doing this lol.
