Hey there!

The difference is that y = kx means the "y directly varies with x", which means that y/x = k. Also, the line of the graph passes directly through the origin. Or, in other words, there is no y - intercept other than (0, 0)

y = mx could have a y - intercept not at the origin. If you have an equation in slope - intercept form, such as y = 5x + 3, than "y" does not directly vary with "x", because you can't get "m" by doing y/x, because first you have to subtract 3. In order to actually find "m", you would have to do (y - 3) / x = m (or, in this case, 5).

Hope this helps! Good luck and have a great day!

We can compare y = kx to the slope-intercept form of a line, y = mx + b.

We can see that y = kx is a linear equation with slope k and y-intercept 0.

Select the equivalent expression . ( 8^ -5 2^ -2 )^ -4 =?
Vikki [24]

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

When there is division inside a set of parentheses, you can distribute the power to each term. When you take a power to another power, you multiply the powers.

-5 x -4 = 20

-2 x -4 = 8

So your answer is:

\frac{8^2^0}{2^8}
