Hey You!
Ten to the power of two = 100
So, when 42.6 is divided by 100, Sue should move the decimal 2 places to the left (before the 4).
42.6 ÷ 100 = 0.426
The answer:
The width is 7cm
The value of "b" is the y-intercept.
In order to figure out slope-intercept form you need 1 coordinate and the slope.
1) Find the slope, using the 2-point slope formula: "m= y2-y1 / x2-x1".
ex. m= -5 - 3 / -4 - -6 (simplify)---> m= -4
2) Fill in the blanks for point-slope formula: "y - y1 = m (x - x1)"
(choose one coordinate, it doesn't matter which one)
ex. y - -5 = -4 (x - -4)
3) Then use basic algebra to simplify.
