1. Write down the decimal divided by 1
2. Multiply both top and bottom by 10
3. Simplify the fraction.
There's not much math work here, they just want you to eyeball the graph and give the closest grid point to where the two lines meet.
Let's translate the question.
Solution to the system
That's the x and y values where the two lines cross. That's because the meeting point is the value of x and y that satisfies both equations.
Approximation ... to the nearest integer values
Where two integer grid lines cross is called a lattice point. It's a point with integer coordinates. Our solution, the meet of these two lines, doesn't fall exactly on a lattice point. The nearest integer values means the closest lattice point to our intersection of lines.
Eyeballing the graph, I'd say (x,y)=(2,3) is the closest point.
Answer: (2,3) second choice
(1/4)^-2 - (5^0 x 2) x 1^-1 =
(4/1)^2 - (1 x 2) x 1 = 16-2 = 14
If you raise something to the power of -2, swap numerator and denominator and remove the minus.
So (1/4)^-2 = 4^2 = 16
Also 1^-1 is just 1, not -1.
