9^-2 = 1/81 or 0.0123
When there is a negative in front of the exponent it makes a fraction. It is usually just 1/the number it equals if it were positive.
Answer:
16. y=-5x-20; 17. y=6x+18, or factored y=6(x+3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Your slope is -5
y=-5x+b, solve for b by pluging the point (-3,-5) in for x and y
-5=-5(-3)+b, solve for b
-20=b, now rewrite the equation
y=-5x-20
Your slope is 6
y=-5x+b, solve for b by pluging the point (-3,-0) in for x and y
0=6(-3)+b, solve for b
18=b, now rewrite the equation
y=6x+18, or factored y=6(x+3)
Answer:
y = 1/4x -8
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the slope of the line
x-4y =3
Subtract x from each side
x-4y -x = -x+3
-4y = -x+3
Divide each side by -4
-4y/-4 = -x/-4 +3/-4
y = 1/4 x -3/4
This is in the form y= mx+b where the slope is m and the y intercept is b
The slope is 1/4
We want the same slope
y = 1/4x +b
we know the y intercept is -8
y = 1/4x -8
