487.9573 * 1000 = 487947.30
As you can see, the first number has a decimal point, and the second number is 1000. You can drop the 0s in the 1000 leaving 1 to multiply with the first number. Simply move the decimal point to the right based on the number of 0s there are on the second number.
Since, 1000 has three 0s. Move the decimal point 3 times to the right of the number. So, from 487.9573 to 487957.3
If the function is division but the numbers are the same, you must move the decimal point to the left.
2/5x=-20
x=-50
Explanation:
Whenever you take the 2/5 and divide it from -20 you are left with x=-50. Therefore, the value for x is -50.
You forgot to include the given line.
We need the given line to find the slope. The slope of parallel lines are equal. So, the slope of the line of the equation you are looking for is the same slope of the given line.
I can explain you the procedure to help you to find the desired equation:
1) Slope
Remember that the slope-intercept equation form is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is thye y-intercept.
If you clear y in every equation you get:
a) y = (3/4)x + 17/4 => slope = 3/4
b) y = (3/4)x + 20/4 = (3/4)x + 5 => slope = 3/4
c) y = -(4/3)x - 2/3 => slope = -4/3
d) y = (-4/3)x - 6/3 = (-4/3)x - 2 => slope = -4/3
So, you just have to compare the slope of the given line with the above slopes to see which equations are candidates.
2) Point (-3,2)
You must verify which equations pass through the point (-3,2).
a) 3x - 4y = - 17
3(-3) - 4(2) = -17
- 9 - 8 = - 17
- 17 = - 17 => it is candidate
b) 3x - 4y = - 20
- 17 ≠ - 20 => it is not candidate
c) 4x + 3y = - 2
4(-3) + 3(2) = - 2
-12 + 6 = - 2
-6 ≠ -2 => it is not candidate
d) 4x + 3y = - 6
-6 = - 6 => it is candidate
3) So, the point (-3,2) permits to select two candidates
3x - 4y = - 17, and 4x + 3y = -6.
4) Yet you have to find the slope of the given equation, if it is 3/4 the solutions is the equation 3x - 4y = -17; if it is -4/3 the solution is the equation 4x + 3y = -6.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope/Gradient =
