-6*3 =-18
11*4=44
-18/44. Reduce. Divide top and bottom by 2
-9/22
You sometimes need to rewrite a factor because the lead number is not between 1 and 10 as it needs to be in scientific notation. For instance, if we had lead numbers of 2 and 5, as we do in the following problem.
2x10^3 * 5x10^9
Then we get the answer of 10x10^12. We need to adjust this by moving the decimal place and increasing the exponent by 1. The correct answer would be 1x10^13 instead.
Choose your points, go up from the y intercept to a chosen x point. Then go over the the x point. Up and over is the formula I use.
Answer:
the answer will be 1 consistent
