The answer is: z² .
__________________________
Given: <span>(x÷(y÷z))÷((x÷y)÷z) ; without any specified values for the variables;
_______________________
we shall simplify.
___________________
We have:
__________
</span>(x÷(y÷z)) / ((x÷y)÷z) .
_____________________________________
Start with the first term; or, "numerator": (x÷(y÷z)) ;
_____________________________________
x ÷ (y / z) = (x / 1) * (z / y) = (x * z) / (1 *y) = [(xz) / y ]
_____________________________________
Then, take the second term; or "denominator":
_____________________________________
((x ÷ y) ÷z ) = (x / y) / z = (x / y) * (1 / z) = (x *1) / (y *z) = [x / (zy)]
_________________________________________
So (x÷(y÷z)) / ((x÷y)÷z) = (x÷(y÷z)) ÷ ((x÷y)÷z) =
[(xz) / y ] ÷ [x / (zy)] = [(xz) / y ] / [x / (zy)] =
[(xz) / y ] * [(zy) / x] ;
_______________________________________
The 2 (two) z's "cancel out" to "1" ; and
The 2 (two) y's = "cancel out" to "1" ;
______________________________________________
And we are left with: z * z = z² . The answer is: z² .

So, I'm going to break it down to help you understand it a bit more.
If it starts at (0,-2) and crosses through (1,0) that means it moved to the right once and up twice. Which means, that the slope will be 2. If it were one it would be to the right 1 up one, if it were 4 it would be to the right 1 up 4, and finally if it were 1/2 it would be to the right 2 up 1.
So, your answer is C. or 2.
