-3^4 tells you to take the number 3 and multiply it by itself 4 times.
-3^4 = -3 * 3 * 3 * 3
Ignoring the negative in front until the end.
= -81
(-3)^4 tells you to take the number -3 and multiply it by itself 4 times.
(-3)^4 = (-3) * (-3) * (-3) * (-3)
Which gives us a different result,
= 81

Ya is = 10x-28 see the picture for explanation
Given:
y = mx + b
m = slope
b = y-intercept.
m = 1.35
x = 13
25.43 = 1.35(13) + b
25.43 = 17.55 + b
b = 25.43 - 17.55
b = 7.88
y = 1.35(19) + 7.88
y = 25.65 + 7.88
y = 33.53
