Answer:

a = 7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - y - 5 = 0

2x = y + 5

y = 2x - 5

m = -1/2

y - 5 = -1/2(x - (-2))

y - 5 = -1/2(x + 2)

y - 5 = -x/2 - 1

y = -x/2 + 4

a = -1/2 + 4

a = 7/2

Answer:

8.30256

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write out expression

$((-3)^{\frac{1}{5} })^{4(3^{\frac{1}{5} })^4$

Step 2: Use BPEMDAS to evaluate

$(-1.24573)^{4(3^{\frac{1}{5} })^4$

$(-1.24573)^{4(1.24573)^4$

$(-1.24573)^{4(2.40822)$

$(-1.24573)^{9.6329}$

= 8.30256
