The exponent indicates how many times the base is used as a factor.
The question ask to choose among the choices that states the truth about the triangle ABC and triangle CDE which is they are similar. The statement that tells the truth is letter C. Triangle ABC is congruent to triangle CDW and also D. Side AC is congruent it side CE. I hope this will help
U = {points on the coordinate plane}
A = {solutions to the equation y = 2x + 5}
B = {points on the line y = mx}
Value of the slope m so that {2x + 5} ∩ {mx} =Ф
This means that {2x + 5} never intersects with {mx}
To that end m=2 (same slope), if so the 2 linear functions:
y = 2x+5 and y = 2x are PARALLEL
