Answer:

The explicit function is y = 6x + 2

Explanation:

Since the change in x, Δx is constant and Δx = 1 and also, the change in y, Δy is constant and Δy = 6, we use the equation of a straight line in gradient form.

So, (y - y₁)/(x - x₁) = Δy/Δx where x₁ = 1 and y₁ = 8

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

(y - y₁)/(x - x₁) = Δy/Δx

(y - 8)/(x - 1) = 6/1

(y - 8)/(x - 1) = 6

cross-multiplying, we have

(y - 8) = 6(x - 1)

expanding the brackets, we have

y - 8 = 6x - 6

adding 8 to both sides of the equation, we have

y - 8 + 8 = 6x - 6 + 8

y + 0 = 6x + 2

y = 6x + 2

So, the explicit function is y = 6x + 2

One cause for plate motion is plate pull. which of the following best describes plate pull

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

C. When the oceanic lithosphere, which is more dense, sinks and pulls the plate with it

Explanation:

Slab pull and other mechanisms are responsible for the motion of plates. Every tectonic plate is driven by mantle convection.

Convection is a form of heat transfer in fluids.
It is as a result of differences in density and temperature values.
The oceanic crust is denser and colder.
As hot magma from deep within the subsurface rises and move through cracks, the oceanic lithosphere is drawn down and deeper.
This cycling between the cold lithosphere and hot rising plumes provides the mechanism that drives plate motion.

Which kind of map uses contour lines to show elevation?

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Topographic maps use contour lines to show elevation.

Topographic maps, often called "topo maps," feature contour lines to portray the shape and elevation of the land.

Contour lines (lines of equal elevation) that are close together indicate steep terrain, while lines that are far apart indicate flat terrain.

Such maps also usually portray both natural and artificial features. They show and name natural land formations such as mountains, valleys, plains, lakes, rivers and vegetation. They also identify particular man made features such as roads, boundaries, transmission lines and major buildings.

What is the history of development of the energy source?

cluponka [151]

In 1880, coal powered a steam engine attached to the world's first electric generator. Thomas Edison's plant in New York City provided the first electric light to Wall Street financiers and the New York Times.Only a year later, the world's first hydroelectric plant went on-line in Appleton, Wisconsin.By the late 1800s, a new form of fuel was catching on: petroleum.With the low-cost automobile and the spread of electricity, our society's energy use changed forever. Power plants became larger and larger, until we had massive coal plants and hydroelectric dams. Power lines extended hundreds of miles between cities, bringing electricity to rural areas during the Great Depression.(this is just a brief description)
