Part A:
The two expressions are equal because in the second expression all they did was move the decimal over one place to make it so both numbers had the same exponent value.
Part B:
The second expression takes less steps to solve because you can simply subtract the two numbers.
0.14-2.83 = -2.69
-2.69*10^4
I’m pretty sure it’s the last one. :)
The formula for slope is y=mx+b
so if you re arrange the equation from 8y-16x=12
to 8y=16x+12
the slope will be the coefficient of x =16
