We are given the following two points

(-4, 0) and (-5, -3)

The slope is given by

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ $\text{where }(x_1,y_1)=(-4,0)\; \text{and }(x_2,y_2)=(-5,-3)$

Let us substitute the given values into the slope formula

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{-3-0}{-5-(-4)}=\frac{-3}{-5+4}=\frac{-3}{-1}=3$

Therefore, the slope of the line is 3

When you have an exponent divided by another exponent, you subtract the exponents (only when it has the same base)

For example:

$\frac{x^8}{x^3} =x^{8-3}=x^5$

$\frac{x^3}{x^2} =x^{3-2}=x^{1}$

When you have a negative exponent, you move it to the other side of the fraction to make the exponent positive

For example:

$x^{-2}=\frac{1}{x^2}$

$\frac{1}{x^{-5}}=\frac{x^5}{1} = x^5$

$\frac{y^{-2}}{x^{-1}} =\frac{x^1}{y^2} =\frac{x}{y^2}$

1. $\frac{10^{15}}{10^3} =10^{15-3} = 10^{12}$

2. $\frac{(-3)^4}{(-3)^{-3}} =(-3)^{4-(-3)}=(-3)^{4+3} = (-3)^7$

3. $\frac{8}{8^3} =8^{1-3} = 8^{-2}=\frac{1}{8^2}$

4. $\frac{a^{12}}{a^2} =a^{12-2}=a^{10}$

5. $\frac{m^{-2}n^{16}}{m^{4}n^2} =(m^{-2-4})(n^{16-2})=(m^{-6})(n^{14})=\frac{n^{14}}{m^{6}}$

This is one of the ways you could have done it

6. $\frac{p^5q^{-10}}{p^6q^{-2}} =(p^{5-6})(q^{-10-(-2)})=(p^{-1})(q^{-8})=\frac{1}{p^1q^8} =\frac{1}{pq^8}$

7. $\frac{63x^{18}}{9x^{2} }$ Divide 63 and 9

$\frac{7x^{18}}{x^{2}} =(7)(x^{18-2})=(7)(x^{16})=7x^{16}$

8. $\frac{28r^4}{-7r^{15}} =(\frac{28}{-7} )(r^{4-15})=(-4)(r^{-11})=(-4)(\frac{1}{r^{11}} )=\frac{-4}{r^{11}}$

[More information with exponents]

If you multiply an exponent directly with another exponent, you multiply the exponents together

For example:

$(x^{2})^4=x^{2(4)}=x^8$

$(x^{3})^5 =x^{3(5)}=x^{15}$

If you multiply a variable with an exponent by a variable with an exponent, you add the exponents

For example:

$(x^{2}) (x^6)=x^{2+6}=x^8$

$(x^{3})(x^1)=x^{3+1}=x^4$

inessss [21]

Answer:

Amount John gets paid per hour $6.92$ Dollars per hour ,

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how much he gets paid per hour we need to divide the total payment he received by the total number of hours he worked.

Amount John gets paid per hour = $\frac{173}{25}$ Dollars per hour.

= $6.92$ Dollars per hour
