The moon is a sphere with radius of 567 km. determine an equation for the ellipse if the distance of the satellite from the surface of the moon varies from 900 km to 169 km.

anser is a

step-by-step explanation:

negitive slope

step-by-step explanation:

let

we know that

the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point when the value of x is equal to zero

so

the y-coordinate of the point a is the y-intercept

the answer part a) is

the value of y-intercept is

part b) find the slope m

we know that

the value of the slope is equal to

substitute the values

therefore

the answer part b) is

the value of the slope is equal to

the general answer is

the slope is

the value of y-intercept is
