The right answer is:

area B = area C

We can solve this problem by using Kepler's laws of planetary motion. There are three Kepler's laws. In this exercise, we need to use the second law. According to this law, a line segment joining a planet and the sun sweeps out equals areas during equals intervals of time. So, a certain planet sweeps out an area B from the point P3 to P4 in an interval of time t. On the other hand, for the same interval of time t, the planet sweeps out an area C from point P4 to P5, that is equal to the previous area according to second kepler's law.

Kepler giscovered that area B = area C because they have the same time interval..

Lydia buys 5 pounds of apples and 3 pounds of bananas for a total of $8.50. Ari buys 3 pounds of apples and 2 pounds of bananas

Anarel [89]

5x + 3y= 8.50
3x + 2y= 5.25

Lydia is the first equation. She bought 5 pounds of apples which is x and bought 3 pounds of bananas which is y. Basically, remember each banana and apple weighs a price per pound. We don't know the price so we just put an x. This is the same for the second equation

What can be concluded about the line represented in the table? Check all that apply. x y –6 –7 2 –3 8 0 The slope is 2. The slop

Stels [109]

The first thing we must do for this case is to find the equation of the line.
$y-yo = m (x-xo)
$
We have then:
$m = (y2 - y1) / (x2-x1)

m = (-3 - 0) / (2-8)

m = 1/2$
We choose an ordered pair:
$(xo, yo) = (8, 0)
$
Substituting values:
$y-0 = (1/2) (x-8)

y = (1/2) x - 4$

From here we conclude:

Intersection with y:
We evaluate x = 0 in the function:
$y = (1/2) (0) - 4

y = -4$

Slope of the line:
$m = 1/2
$

Point (-2, -5):
We evaluate the value of x = -2 and the value of y = -5
$-5 = (1/2) (- 2) - 4

-5 = -1 - 4

-5 = - 5$
The equation is satisfied.

Point (8, 0):
It is part of the table, therefore belongs to the line.

Answer:
The slope is 1/2
The y-intercept is -4.
The points (-2, -5) and (8, 0) are also on the line.
