Positive exponent? An index would imply that the base, x, had a fractional exponent.
My Dear Aunt Sally used to say, "If there's a negative exponent in your face, then flip your base!"
In other words, if the exponent is negative, take the reciprocal of the base, x →
and change the exponent to positive.
Therefore:
I have cross the fraction bar line change the exponent sign.
Answer:
y = (-2/3)x - 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the equation of the line through the two points (-2, 1) and (1, -1).
As we increase x from -2 to 1 (an increase of 3), y decreases from 1 to -1 (a decrease of 2).
Thus, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = -2/3.
Using the slope-intercept formula y = mx + b, and substituting the givens m = -2/3, x = -2 and y = 1, we get:
1 = (-2/3)(-2) + b, or
1 = 4/3 + b, or 3/3 = 4/3 + b.
Then b must be 3/3 - 4/3, or -1/3, and the equation of the line is then
y = (-2/3)x - 1/3
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Neither blue plot line is dashed, so we eliminate any equation that contains the symbols "<" or ">". Remove A and C
B and D (actually all options) have y ≤ -x + 4 which is a line with slope -1 any y intercept 4. This represents the area below the line running from (0, 4) to (4, 0)
Which leaves us to select from y ≥ x + 2 for option B or y ≤ x + 2 for option D
As the shaded area is <em>below</em> the line we choose <u>option D</u>

Answer:
708
Step-by-step explanation:
Using trig we know that tan of an angle is equal to opposite/adjacent, using this we can conclude that tan(42)=top half of x/518 so we do tan(42)*518 to find the side of the top triangle and then do the same process for the bottom one but instead of using tan(42) you use tan(25)
