A rational number can be represented in a ratio of a/b.
Therefore, 5.3 would be a rational number in between 5.2 and 5.5, as it can be represented as 53/10.
Hope that helps!
Answer:
The graph of a linear equation is a straight line. The "solution" to a system of two linear equations is the point where the two lines cross. If the two lines are parallel, they never cross; hence parallel lines have no solution. Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope (the m value in y = mx+b). One of your equations is y = -2x + (you left the y-intercept out). The slope is -2. So any line with a slope of m = -2 will be parallel to this line and will not cross it. The second line also needs a different value of b, the y-intercept. Otherwise it is the same line and every point is a solution. So if your equation is:
y = -2x + 1
Then any equation of the form y = -2x + b, b≠1 will create a system with no solution. Hence the values of m and b are m = -2, b ≠ 1.
Answer:
5256 orbits
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 8760 hours in a year, and at a rate of 0.6 orbits per hour you can find how many orbits there are per year by multiplying the rate and time like this
8760 x 0.6
This gives us an answer of 5256 which is the number of orbits per year
