Step-by-step explanation:
Things to remember:
1). When we divide a number having decimal by 10, 100, 1000 or any number multiple of ten, decimal point of the numerator shifts left by the number of zeros present in denominator.
Example:
2). When we multiply a decimal number by 10, 100, or any number number multiple of 10, decimal point of the original number shifts right by number of zeros present in multiplier.
Example: 2.0 × 100 = 200
In this question, 0.014 × 100000 = 1400.000
Therefore, product of 0.014 and 100000 is 1400 because the decimal point in 0.014 moves 5 places to the right.
3x + 4y = - 8
The equation of a line in standard form is Ax + By = C
where A is a positive integer and B, C are integers
Express the line in ' slope- intercept form '
y = mx + c → (m is the slope and c is the y-intercept)
here m = - and c = - 2
hence y = - x - 2 → equation in slope- intercept form
multiply all terms by 4
4y = - 3x - 8
add 3x to both sides
3x + 4y = - 8 → in standard form
