The "slope" means how far you rise when you travel 1 unit horizontally.
"Steeper" means you rise higher for each horizontal distance ... more slope.
A slope of 1/12 means 12 horizontal units raise you one unit higher.
12 horizontal inches raise you 1 inch higher.
1 horizontal foot raises you 1 inch higher.
12 horizontal feet raises you 1 foot higher.
In order to rise 2 feet, you'd have to cover (2 x 12) = 24 horizontal feet
on a 1/12 slope.
Answer:
the product of the two integers is -80
21.
So to solve for the value of a variable in an equation, you would need to isolate x on one side. The first thing you have to do is multiply 2 and (x + 7) together, which can be rewritten as 2(x) + 2(7). After multiplying, your equation would be:
, or A.
22.
So the rule with multiplying exponents with the same base is to add the exponents together, and the rule with dividing exponents with the same base is to subtract the exponents. Your equation will be simplified as such:

Now the rule with converting negative exponents into fractions is
. In this case, 4^-2 would turn into
, or C, which is your final answer.
You can turn it into a mixed number 1 83
