A decimal in the wrong place can change the value of a number completely for example
0.5 can be converted to 50 cents or 1/2 but if you change the decimal 0.05 converts to 5% or 1/20.
y=19x+9 would be the rule

-29 is 29 degrees away from 0 degrees.
31 is 31 degrees away from 0 degrees.
-29 (the temperature in Duluth) is closer to 0, because 29 is less than 31.
