Answer:
b = -125/9
Step-by-step explanation:
1 + log5 ( -9b) = 4
Subtract 1 from each side
1 -1+ log5 ( -9b) = 4-1
log5 ( -9b) = 3
Raise each side to the base 5
5^ log5 ( -9b) = 5^3
This will cancel the log5
-9b = 125
Divide each side by 9
-9b/-9 = 125/-9
b = -125/9
It's the first one because all the y's are the same number. That means that when you graph the chart you would get a horizontal line. Horizontal lines on graphs always have a slope of zero....unlike a verticals slope is undefined.
