Smaller, since a half equals to 0.50
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
There are exponent rules I posted above that are being used here.
We have (3^-6)^-5
Since we have a power times a power, we multiply 6 and 5 to get -30. Look at the first example in the photo.
So, we're left with 3^-30.
If you look at the photo, there's a rule for negative exponents.
Take the inverse of the base number, so 3 in this case:
1 / 3
and then make the exponent positive after taking the inverse.
So, we should get 1 / 3^30
Hope this helps!
Let's start by moving all like terms to their own sides:
-18 = -3x + 6
3x = 6 + 18
3x = 24
x = 8
Parallel slope = 2
This is because the original line has slope 2. Parallel lines have equal slopes.
--------------------------
Perpendicular slope = -1/2
The original slope 2 or 2/1 turns into -1/2 after flipping the fraction and the sign. Note the original slope and perpendicular slope multiply to -1. This is true for any pair of perpendicular lines where neither line is vertical.
