When you are multiplying an exponent directly into a number/variable with an exponent, you multiply the exponents together.
For example:


When you are multiplying a variable with an exponent by another variable with an exponent, you add the exponents together.
For example:



You multiply 3 into each exponent in the numerator and the denominator

When you have a negative exponent, you move it to the other side of the fraction to make the exponent positive.

When you have something like this:

You subtract the exponents together, so:

Your answer is the second option
Answer:
-1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the line has the form y = mx + b where m is the slope. Here the slope is m = 3. A line perpendicular to it will have a negative reciprocal slope. The negative reciprocal of 3 is -1/3.
