Answer: 9.3 ×
Step-by-step explanation: To write a number in scientific notation, first write a decimal point in the number so that there is only one digit to the left of the decimal point.
In this case, we can write 93,000,000 as 9.3000000 and notice that there is only one digit to the left of the decimal point.
Next, we count the number of places the decimal point would need to move to get back to the original number which is 93,000,000.
Since we will need to move the decimal point seven places to the left, we have an exponent of positive 7. Our exponent will be positive because we need to move the decimal point seven places to the right. Now, we can write our number in scientific notation.
9.3 ×

notice the equations in slope-intercept form, the first one has a slope of -1, the second one has a slope of 1.
if the slopes are equal, and the constant is different, they lines are parallel.
if the slopes are equal, and the constant is the same the equations are exactly the same thing, and the lines are coincident, on slapped on top of the other.
if the slopes differ, like here, then they have a solution, where they intersect.
