slope is 1/3

Explanation: $\text{The given points: (-5,4) and (1, 6)}$

We apply the slope formula:

$slope=m\text{ = }\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ $\begin{gathered} x_1=-5,y_1=4,x_2=1,y_2\text{ = }6 \\ m\text{ = }\frac{6\text{ - 4}}{1\text{ - (-5)}} \\ m\text{ }=\text{ }\frac{2}{1+5} \\ \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} m\text{ = 2/6} \\ m\text{ = 1/3} \\ \\ \text{Hence, slope is 1/3} \end{gathered}$

Use the change of base formula to evaluate log3(73).

Marrrta [24]

The change of base formula allows you to write a logarithm in terms of logarithms with another base. It follows this pattern,

$log_{a}x = \frac{ log_{b}x }{log_{b}a }$

where a≠1 and b≠1

Assigning the base to be 7,

$log_{3}73 = \frac{ log_{7}73 }{log_{7}3 }=3.9$
