Answer:

a = -3

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Solving Exponential Equations
  • Exponential Property [Rewrite]: \displaystyle b^{-m} = \frac{1}{b^m}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify</em>

<em />\displaystyle 5^a = \frac{1}{125}<em />

<em />

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>a</u></em>

  1. Rewrite:                                                                                                                \displaystyle 5^a = \frac{1}{5^3}
  2. Rewrite [Exponential Property - Rewrite]:                                                       \displaystyle 5^a = 5^{-3}
  3. Set:                                                                                                                    \displaystyle a = -3

What is the slope intercept form when m = 1/2 &amp; b = 89 ?<br> Helppppppppp
Zina [86]

Answer:

y = \frac{1}{2}x + 89

Step-by-step explanation:

slope-intercept form: y  = mx + b

y = (x , y)

x = (x , y)

m = slope = 1/2

b = y-intercept = 89

Plug in the corresponding numbers & variables to the corresponding variables:

y = (1/2)x + 89

y = \frac{1}{2}x + 89  is your answer.
