Now we have a negative exponent, which is the opposite of a positive exponent.
If a positive exponent means you're multiplying by 10s and it makes a number bigger by moving the decimal to the right, then
the opposite of this is that a negative exponent means you're dividing by 10s and making the number smaller by moving the decimal point to the left.
Examples:


The trick is to recognize that
is the same thing as 
and
mean the same thing.
So, 
For your exercise,
means you'll move the decimal point 24 places to the left, to make the number smaller.
Answer:
The function rule in slope-intercept form is:

Step-by-step explanation:
The slope-intercept form of a function is given as:

Here
m is the rate of change of function and b is the y-intercept
The rate of change is calculated as:

For this, any two pairs of input and output can be taken.
So using the pairs (1,-3) and (2,-1)

Putting the value of slope in slope-intercept form

Putting (1,-3) in the equation

Putting the value of b

Hence,
The function rule in slope-intercept form is:

$38 dollars is the answer
There are 16 ounces in 1 pound and 8 ounces in 0.5 pounds. 16(2)= 42+ 8= 38 ounces
