Answer:

The equation of the line is y = -\frac{1}{3}x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line:

The equation of a line has the following format:

y = mx + b

In which m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Slope of - 1/3

This means that m = -\frac{1}{3}

So

y = -\frac{1}{3}x + b

Through the point (-6, -6)

This means that when x = -6, y = -6. So

y = -\frac{1}{3}x + b

-6 = -\frac{1}{3}(-6) + b

b + 2 = -6

b = -8

The equation of the line is y = -\frac{1}{3}x - 8

Need help with this question! Will attach pic! A satellite is to be put into an elliptical orbit around a moon as shown below.Th
Darina [25.2K]
An equation for the ellipse ( standard form ):
x²/a²  +  y²/b² = 1
Here is:  a - semi-major axis and b - semi-minor axis.
Radius of the moon is 1,000 km and the distance from the surface of the moon to the satellite varies from 953 km to 466 km.
a = 1,000 + 953 = 1,953 km
b = 1,000 + 466 = 1,466 km
Answer:
The equation is  x² / 1,953²  + y² / 1,466² = 1
or: x²/3,814,209  +   y²/2,149,156  = 1
