What is the equation of a line, in general form, with a slope of -2 and a y-intercept of 8?

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.

answer: hence, function will be

explanation:

since we have given that

cost of a new textbook = $85

according to question, the resale value of a textbook decreases by 25% with each previous owner,

so, our function becomes,

here, y is the total value of the text book after x owners.

hence, function will be
