Answer:

b= -10

Step-by-step explanation:

9^ -8 * 9^ -2

We know that a^b * a^c = a^ (b+c)

9^ (-8+-2)

9^ -10

We want it in the form a^b

a=9

b= -10

Distance Formula: $\displaystyle d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify

Point (-1, -8)

Point (-4, -4)

Step 2: Find distance d

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the distance formula to find distance d

Substitute in points [Distance Formula]: $\displaystyle d = \sqrt{(-4--1)^2+(-4--8)^2}$
[√Radical] (Parenthesis) Subtract: $\displaystyle d = \sqrt{(-3)^2+(4)^2}$
[√Radical] Evaluate exponents: $\displaystyle d = \sqrt{9+16}$
[√Radical] Add: $\displaystyle d = \sqrt{25}$
[√Radical] Evaluate: $\displaystyle d = 5$
