Answer:

We move the decimal point to the right by a number of digit places equal to the power of 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we want to multiply a decimal by a power of 10, we move the decimal point to the right by a number of digit places which is the power of the number ten or the number of zeros which are present in the multiplying number 10. If we do not have a digit after the last digit, we put zeros to complete the number of digits until, we have the number of digit places added after the decimal point which are equal to the power of 10.

Using the example given above

8.653 x 10000, we have four zeros. So, in index form it is

8.653 x 10⁴

Since we have the number 10 raised to the power of four or having 4 zeros, we move the decimal point 4 places to the right.

So, 8.653 x 10000 = 8.653 x 10⁴ = 86530

Answer:

$\begin{cases}y=-5x+1\\y=5x-4 \end{cases}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form of a linear equation:

$\boxed{y=mx+b}$

where:

m is the slope.
b is the y-intercept (where the line crosses the y-axis).

Slope formula

$\boxed{\textsf{slope}\:(m)=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}$

Equation 1

Define two points on the line:

$\textsf{Let }(x_1,y_1)=(-1, 6)$

$\textsf{Let }(x_2,y_2)=(0, 1)$

Substitute the defined points into the slope formula:

$\implies \textsf{slope}\:(m)=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\dfrac{1-6}{0-(-1)}=-5$

From inspection of the graph, the line crosses the y-axis at y = 1 and so the y-intercept is 1.

Substitute the found slope and y-intercept into the slope-intercept formula to create an equation for the line:

$y=-5x+1$

Equation 2

Define two points on the line:

$\textsf{Let }(x_1,y_1)=(1, 1)$

$\textsf{Let }(x_2,y_2)=(0, -4)$

Substitute the defined points into the slope formula:

$\implies \textsf{slope}\:(m)=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\dfrac{-4-1}{0-1}=5$

From inspection of the graph, the line crosses the y-axis at y = -4 and so the y-intercept is -4.

Substitute the found slope and y-intercept into the slope-intercept formula to create an equation for the line:

$y=5x-4$

Conclusion

Therefore, the system of linear equations shown by the graph is:

$\begin{cases}y=-5x+1\\y=5x-4 \end{cases}$

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The solutions to the systems of equations are at the points of intersection of the 2 graphed functions.

There are 2 points of intersection , so 2 solutions at

(0, - 3 ) and (4, 5 )

There is 1 point of intersection, so 1 solution at

(- 2, 5 )

There are no points of intersection , so no solution
