Answer:

$-\frac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 2y + 18 = 0

Equating it with.

ax + by + c = 0, we find:

a = 3, b = 2, c = 18

Slope of the line $=- \frac{a}{b} =-\frac{3}{2}$

Answer:

-3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx +b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

we just need to rewrite 3x+2y+18=0 to look like that

We need to get y by itself

3x+18= -2y

we need y to be positive and to have no number in front of it (no coeficcent)

y= -3/2x-9

the slope is therefore -3/2

Answer:

a = 3, b = 12, c = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The applicable rules of exponents are ...

(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)

(a^b)/(a^c) = a^(b-c)

(a^b)^c = a^(bc)

___

You seem to have ...

$\dfrac{2^5\times8^4}{16}=\dfrac{2^5\times(2^3)^4}{2^4}\qquad (a=3)\\\\=\dfrac{2^5\times2^{3\cdot4}}{2^4}=\dfrac{2^5\times2^{12}}{2^4}\qquad (b=12)\\\\=2^{5+12-4}=2^{13}\qquad(c=13)$

Additional comment

I find it easy to remember the rules of exponents by remembering that an exponent signifies repeated multiplication. It tells you how many times the base is a factor in the product.

$2\cdot2\cdot2 = 2^3\qquad\text{2 is a factor 3 times}$
