The compare is hat they both have the same y-intercept, the contrast is that tone line is positive and the other line is negative
I think this is asking what power when the first number given is raised to it will equal the number within the parentheses. So, for example, the answer to the first question would be 5 because 2^5 = 32. 10^3 = 1000, so the answer is 3, and so on.
8/36 because:
8+16+12=36
and if you simplify it the answer will be 4/18 2/9
