Your answer is the first option, -10

Laws of Indices states that a^b x a^c = a^(b + c), therefore 9^-8 x 9^-2 = 9^(-8 - 2) = 9^-10

Answer:

-10

Step-by-step explanation:

9^-8 x 9^-2 = a^b

We know that x^y * x^z = x^(y+z)

9^-8 x 9^-2 = 9^(-8+-2) = 9^(-10)

a= 9

b = -10

Which line is perpendicular to y = 2x -8

zlopas [31]

A- Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes. Therefore a perpendicular line to 2x-8 will have a slope of -1/2. Once solved in slope intercept form, choice A shows a line of slope -2/4, equivalent to -1/2
