Answer:
They are not equivalent.
Step-by-step explanation:
Before we solve the question, we need to know that from the laws of indices:
A^x x A^y = A^(x+y).
7 to the power of 8th power means 7^8
7^8 times 7 means 7^8 x 7. From the laws of indices we have 7^8 x 7 = 7^9.
7 to the power of 3rd power means 7^3
7^3 times 7 to the power of 3rd power means 7^3 x 7^3. From the laws of indices we have 7^3 x 7^3 = 7^6.
Obviously, 7^9 ≠ 7^3 therefore, they are not equivalent.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to find the slope of the line. We can plug in both coordinates in to the slope formula.
The slope formula is:

So I will use (-3,4) as the first coordinate, and (7,-1) as the second coordinate.
x₁ = -3
y₁ = 4
x₂ = 7
y₂= -1
I will plug in these values to find the slope.

Now that we know the slope is -1/2, we can plug in the slope and a point into the point slope equation. Then we can solve for y.

I have attached an image of what this graph should look like. Since the slope is -1/2, the y value should decrease by 1/2 every time you move over by 1 on the x axis. And since the equation says "+5/2" we know we have to shift the graph up by 5/2. The y-intercept will be 5/2.
I added another image that shows how to graph an equation using the equation y=mx+b
You would use the formula c=<span>πd</span>
Answer:
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
So we substitute the point given x=-5 and y = -3 to see if this solves both equations at the same time so
3(-5) - 9(-3) = 12 -> -15+27 = 12 -> 12 = 12 [this one works]
8(-5) - 14 (-3) = 2 -> -40 + 42 = 2 -> 2=2 [this one works also]
Since (-5,-3) is a solution to both equations, then this is a solution to this system
Subtract 27 from 36 = 9
9/36 = 0.25
