Answers:

Vertical change = 1
Horizontal change = 2
Rate of change = 0.5

====================================================

Explanation:

Imagine that we have point A as a buoy in the water. So the horizontal line through 1 on the y axis is the water line. How much should the water line go up so that points A and B are on the same horizontal level? That would be 1 unit up. This is the vertical change. Another term for this is "rise".

After the water goes up, and A and B are on the same level, the question is now: how far to the right do we go from A to B? That would be 2 units. This is the horizontal change. Another term for this is "run".

Using those two values, we can compute the rate of change aka slope.

slope = rise/run = 1/2 = 0.5

So each time we go up 1 (rise) we move to the right 2 (run).

The slope is positive since we're moving uphill while moving to the right.

Answer:

B. 3¹²

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this we need to apply the following laws of exponents:

1. $(a^n)^m=a^{n*m}$

2. $a^{-n}=\frac{1}{a^n}$

Let's apply the first law to the numerator of our fraction and the second law to the denominator. For the numerator, $(3^5)^2$ , $a=3$ , $n=5$ , and $m=2$ . For the denominator $3^{-2}$ , $a=3$ and $n=-2$
