Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

A scale model means that the ratios stay the same.

Therefore, Earth's diameter divided by Pluto's diameter is equal to the ratio of Earth's model's diameter divided by Pluto's model's diameter.

We can write this as

8000 / 1500 = 32/ Pluto's model's diameter. Representing Pluto's model's diameter as P, we can say

8000 / 1500 = 32 / P

multiply both sides by 1500 to remove a denominator

8000 = 32 * 1500 / P

multiply both sides by P to remove the other denominator

8000 * P = 32 * 1500

divide both sides by 8000 to isolate the P

P = 32 * 1500/8000

= 6 inches

What is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form?
Anna35 [415]
<span>To write an equation in slope-intercept form, given a graph of that equation, pick two points on the line and use them to find the slope. This is the value of m in the equation. Next, find the coordinates of the y -intercept--this should be of the form (0, b) . ... Therefore, the equation for this line is y = - x + 2 .</span>
