So for the first one, you would have to multiply 2 six times. and then 2 with a -4 exponent is a little challenging. Okay, you would have to make it a fraction. so it would be 1/16. then you would just multiply 2 seven times.
Your answer is to the question 16,4
<span>Form of the equation: y = mx + b
---
You are given that y = 8 when x = 7.
And you are given that m = -1.2
-----
Substitute for those letters and solve for "b"::
8 = -1.2*7 + b
8 = -8.4 + b
b = 8 + 8.4 = 16.4</span>
