We are given an (X, Y) in (-1, 6). We are also given a slope of -2.

Start by plugging all those values into the slope intercept equation.

6 = -2*-1 + B

Solve for B.

B = 4

Now, all you have to do is put it back into the equation again, this time not using the (X,Y) we had initially, but just the slope (-2) and our new "B" value (5).

The resulting equation looks like this:

y= -2x + 4

And that's the answer.

Y = mx + b
slope(m) = -2
(-1,6)....x = -1 and y = 6
now we sub and find b, the y int
6 = -2(-1) + b
6 = 2 + b
6 - 2 = b
4 = b

so ur equation is : y = -2x + 4 <==

Which of these choices show a pair of equivalent expressions? A.7^5/7 and (√ 7)^5 B.6^7/2 and (√ 6)^7 C.(4√ 81)^7 and 81^7/4 D.5
OverLord2011 [107]
We will use the following law of indices (or 'index law') to check each pair of expression

x^{ \frac{m}{n}} = ( \sqrt[n]{x} )^{m}

With fractional power, the denominator is the root and the numerator is the power of the term. When the denominator is 2, we usually only write the normal square symbol (√). Denominator other than 2, we usually write the value of the root, for example, the cubic root ∛

Option A - Incorrect
7^{ \frac{5}{7}} should equal to ( \sqrt[7]{7} )^{5}

Option B - Correct
6^{ \frac{7}{2} } does equal to ( \sqrt{6}) ^{7}

Option C - Incorrect
4( \sqrt{81} )^{7} should equal to (4)( 81^{ \frac{7}{2} } )

Option D - Incorrect
5^{ \frac{2}{3} } should equal to ( \sqrt[3]{5} )^{2}
