The function with the steepest slope is the function which has the maximum absolute value of the slope. Hence, the function with the steepest slope is y = - 8x + 5

The general form of a linear equation is given as :

  • y = bx + c ; <em>b = slope </em>

<u>Evaluating the linear expressions given</u><em> </em><em>:</em><em> </em>

A.)

y = - 8x + 5

b = - 8 ;

|b| = 8

B)

y minus 9 = negative 2 (x + 1)

y - 9 = - 2(x + 1)

y - 9 = - 2x - 2

y = - 2x - 2 + 9

y = -2x + 7

Hence, b = - 2

|b| = 2

C)

y = 7 x minus 3

y = 7x - 3

Hence, b = 7

|b| = 7

D)

y + 2 = 6 (x + 10)

y + 2 = 6x + 60

y = 6x + 60 - 2

y = 6x + 58

Hence, b = 6

|b| = 6

Therefore, the function which has the steepest slope is y = -8x + 5

Which statement best describes how chemical equations demonstrate conservation of mass?
scoray [572]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let's just get the answer and then show why the others are wrong.

The answer is C.

The number of reactants and Products need not be the same

C3H8 + 5O2 ===> 3CO2 + 4H2O

The reactants = 1 + 5 = 6

The products = 3 + 4 = 7

So A is incorrect.

================

B is saying that

C3H8 + 5O2 ===> C3H8 + 5O2

The answer is obviously not B

======================

C8H18(l) + O2(g) ==> CO2(g) + H2O(g)      unbalanced

Gasoline is a liquid. All the rest are gases. D is wrong.

=================

C is correct

The left side has

3 Cs

8 Hs

and 10 Os

The right side has

3Cs

8Hs

10 Os

1. Kepler's three laws resulted from his careful analysis of ____ data, and were not derived from a mathematical model.
Sav [38]
<h2>1. Right answer: Observational </h2>

Kepler formulated the three laws of planetary motion <u>from observations made by</u> the Danish astronomer <u>Tycho Brahe of the orbit of Mars. </u>

These laws were enunciated to mathematically describe the movement of the planets in their orbits around the Sun. However, the scientific resources existing in his time did not allow him to prove these laws. It was Newton who did it after having developed the Differential and Integral Calculus and formulating the Laws of Universal Gravitation.

<h2>2.  Right answer: Aristotelian </h2>

Aristotle mistakenly thought that the Earth was the center of the universe, thus establishing a <u>geocentric cosmological model. </u>

According to this model, Aristotle proposed that the universe (the cosmos) was spherical and finite, with the Earth immobile at its center, composed of the four fundamental elements (made up of spherical layers): ground, water, air and fire; and the Sun along with the fixed planets in their respective concentric spheres revolving around the Earth. The outermost sphere being that of the stars and all these external elements being made of a fifth element which he called ether.
