Which expression shows they are not the same
The expression that shows this is:

Take for instance; y=2
Substitute 2 for y in 

Evaluate all exponents

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
if a is less than zero then b will from 4 down to negative infinity
so b < 4
Does this help at all? ask me some questions if you really want to learn about math ;)
The slope-intercept form: y = mx + b
We have the slope m = 9, therefore: y = 9x + b.
Next. We have the table:
x | -5 | -2 | 1 | 3 | 4 |
y |-46|-19| 8 |26|35|
(1, 8) → x = 1, y = 8
substitute the values of x and y to the equation:
8 = 9(1) + b
8 = 9 + b |-9
b = -1
Answer: y = 9x - 1 → y-intercept is -1.
Answer:
x = 2/9
Step-by-step explanation:
3x = 2/3
3*3x = 2
9x = 2
x = 2/9
Check:
3*2/9 = 2/3
6/9 = 2/3
