Negative exponents work like this:

So, in order to evaluate a negative exponent, you simply have to invert the base, and then raise to the positive equivalent of the exponent.
As an example, here are the first three exercises:



You can work out the rest applying this logic.
The answer: - 2.3 ≥ b ; which does not correspond with any of the answer choices; but most closely corresponds with: "Answer choice: [B]: b > -2.3 ."
_____________
Explanation:
_________________
Assuming we have:
_______________________
2.7 is greater than <u><em>or</em></u> equal to "(b + 5)";
_______________________________
We would write:
_________________
→ 2.7 ≥ b + 5 ;
_________________
→ Subtract "5" from EACH side:
_________________
→ 2.7 − 5 ≥ b + 5 − 5
→ - 2.3 ≥ b ; which does not correspond with any of the answer choices; but most closely corresponds with: "Answer choice: [B]: b > -2.3 ."

Answer:
The graph is not a line of best fit as there are not an equal number of data points on each side of the line
Step-by-step explanation:

A) Width = 9/2, length = 10
Rectangle area = length(l)x width(w)
9/2 = 4.5
4.5(l) x 10(w) = 45ft
One for 5.8 and one for 1.2
