You add them and then divide by how many numbers there are.
a. (3+43)/2 = 23
b. 0
c. -1
(2,8) and (-2,10)
<u>y₂</u><u> </u><u>- y₁</u> used to find the slope<u>
</u>x₂ - x₁
<u>
</u>plug in the coordinates
<u>10-8</u> = <u>2</u> all equals -1/2
-2-2 = -4 m=-1/2
<u>
</u>plug one of the coordinates and the slope into y=mx+b, and solve
<u />8=-1/2(2)+b
8=-1+b
9=b
Final Answer: y = -1/2x + 9
The bases were not the same when the exponents were set equal to each other.
16 should have been written as 4 squared.
The exponent on the right should be 4a instead of 8a.
The correct solution is a=-3/4.
(1/6)*(1*5) is the required expression
