Ahh yes, negative exponents always give us a scare once and a while. All the negative means is to flip the position of its base. For instance, if x has a negative exponent and x in the denominator, all you would have to do is move x to the numerator with the same power (except it's no longer negative). Before we substitute x and all the other variables which the values given, let's eliminate the negatives first.
After flipping positions/eliminating the negative exponents it should look like this:

which simplifies to

now that everything is simplified, and all negative exponents are eliminated we can substitute x with 2, and y with (-4).

which simplifies to

Final Answer: - \frac{1}{32} [/tex]
Complete Question
The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image
Answer:
The line is 
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The line is 
The point is P(0,0 )
Generally the equation for a line is 
Now comparing this with the given equation we see that


Generally the slope of the perpendicular to the given line is mathematically evaluated as

=>
=>
Generally from the univesal equation of a line and the given point we have that
y = mx + c at p(0,0) and
is
0 = -4 (0 ) + c
=> c = 0
Hence the equation perpendicular to the line given at the point given is

Answer:
(x, y) = (0, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
(x, y) = (0, 3) is in both tables. Hence, that point is a solution to the system of equations.
A variable is a letter, for example x, y or z, that represents an unspecified number.
6 + x = 12
To evaluate an algebraic expression, you have to substitute a number for each variable and perform the arithmetic operations. In the example above, the variable x is equal to 6 since 6 + 6 = 12.
The answer for the equation is 21/5 or 4.2.
