When you raise a number to a negative exponent, change the exponent to a positive and make the complete number a fraction with 1 as the numerator.
5 ^-2 = 1/5^2
The answer is C.
Given:

The given point is (-4,1)
Let's check the ordered pair (-4,1) in the first equation

Hence, (-4,1) is a solution of the first equation x-5y=-9.
Now, let's check (-4,1) in the second equation.

So, (-4,1) is a solution of the second equation 4x+4y=-12.
Hence, (-4,1) is a solution of both equation in the system, then it is a solution to the overall system.
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
No these triangles are not congruent.
<u>Left triangle</u>
Shortest side = 6 cm
Longest side = 13 cm
3rd side = unknown but < 13
<u>Right triangle</u>
Shortest side = 6 cm
Longest side = unknown but > 13
3rd side = 13 cm
Although the shortest side of both triangles is 6 cm, the longest side of the left triangle is 13 cm, whereas the longest side of the right triangle is unknown but will be more than 13 cm.
We do not know if any of the angles are congruent. If they were congruent, we would expect to see this marked by the same angle line(s) on each triangle.
