-3^2= -(3)^2
The exponent of 2 only applies to the number 3. -(3)^2 should equal -9. This is true because according to the order of operations, exponents should be evaluated before multiplication. The negative sign here represents -1* 3^2.
If you want to find -3 to the power of 2 it must be written (-3)^2.
Using the slope-intercept form, y=mx + b to find the slope I found that correct answer is 2/5.
Answer:
I'm pretty sure it's -3/2
We will use this formula = 1/2 × base × height
And thus
1/2 × 8 ×8
