Answer:

$\frac{1}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Anything to the negative power becomes a fraction

x⁻ⁿ = 1/xⁿ

So here we have (-3)⁻² which then becomes $\frac{1}{(-3)^{2} }$

This then simplifies to $\frac{1}{9}$

Which statement correctly describes the graph of y = x + 7?

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

see the explanation

The graph in the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$y=x+7$

This is the equation of a line in slope intercept form

$y=mx+b$

$m=1\\b=7$

therefore

The slope is positive

The y-intercept is the point (0,7)---> (value of x when the value of y is equal to zero)

The x-intercept is the point (-7,0) ---> (value of y when the value of x is equal to zero)

To graph the line plot the intercepts and join the points

see the attached figure

Write “252 miles per 8 gallons” as a rate in simplest form.

Nina [5.8K]

Okay so since we have to put 252 miles per 8 gallons into the simplest form I'm going to say that we divide 252/8=31.5 so we should have 31.5 miles per gallon as our answer

The tires on Pablo's bicycle have a radius of 10 inches. Use the appropriate formula model to find the circumference.

Over [174]

You would do pi times radius squared and because the radius is 10 you would do 10 times 10 and then multiply that times pi
