Can someone please help The Richter scale measures the magnitude, M, of an earthquake as a function of its intensity, I, and the intensity of a reference earthquake

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The Richter scale measures the magnitude, M, of an earthquake as a function of its intensity, I, and the intensity of a reference earthquake, . Which equation could be used to find the intensity of an earthquake with a Richter scale magnitude of 4.8 in reference to an earthquake with an intensity of 1?

Solution:

The Richter magnitude scale was developed in 1935 by Charles F. Richter. The Richter scale is used to measure the strength of earthquakes.

The magnitude of an earthquake (M) using a Richter scale is given by:

option c) graph of line going through 1, 4 and 3, 10

step-by-step explanation:

let y equal to margo's coin collection

let x equal to number of years

at the begining x=0, y=1 → point=(x,y)→point=(0,1)

she adds 3 coins per year, then y=1+3x

at x=1, y=1+3(1)=1+3→y=4→point=(x,y)→point=(1,4)

at x=3, y=1+3(3)=1+9→y=10→point=(x,y)→point=(3,10)

the graph of line going through (1, 4) and (3, 10), then the option c is the correct.
