Answer:

$\frac{25}{16}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(-\frac{5}{4})^2\\\\ \text {Apply power of a fraction rule: } (\frac{a}{b})^x=\frac{a^x}{b^x}\\\\(-\frac{5}{4})^2 = \frac{-5^2}{4^2}=\frac{25}{16}\\\\\boxed{(-\frac{5}{4})^2=\frac{25}{16}}$

Find the values of m and b for this line.

Andrej [43]

Answer:

b=-5, m= - 3/-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope equation is y=mx+b. Slope is finding the rise(vertical change) over run(horizontal change). In this case, -3 is our negative rise and 2 is our run. Put that into fraction form, we get negative 3/2. In the slope equation, b represents the y-intercept(where the line touches the y-axis). In this case, it is -5. Hope this helps you!
