Question

The relationship between the measurements of the Earth Radius and Earth Mass of the ten exoplanets that are in closest proximity to planet Earth is modeled by y=7.7079x - 7. How do you use the model to predict the Earth Mass measurement of an exoplanet with a corresponding Earth Radius of 1.1 RE. In your final answer, include all of your calculations and round calculated values to the nearest ten-thousandth of a unit..686.

Answer 1

1.4787

Explanation:

The relationship between the measurements of the Earth Radius and Earth Mass is represented by

y = 7.7079x - 7 Here x = radius of earth and y = mass

We have to calculate the mass of earth when earth's radius is (1.1)

By putting value of radius in the formula

y = 7.7079 (1.1) - 7

= 8.47869 - 7

= 1.47869 ≈ 1.4787

Answer 2

The relationship is modeled by the equation y = 7.7079x - 7.
Here, y is the dependent variable which is the Earth Mass, and x is the independent variable which is the Earth Radius.
Solving for the Earth Mass if Earth Radius is 1.1 (x=1.1), we substitute 1.1 to x.

y = 7.7079(1.1) - 7
y = 8.47869 - 7
y = 1.47869
y ≈ 1.4787
