What is the slope of the line that passes through (17, −13) and (17, 8)? (also can you try to explain ive been having trouble with these types of question)

Slope is undefined. Line parallel to y-axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

By Analytic Geometry, we can determine the slope of a line by knowing two distinct lines and using the definition of secant line:

(1)

Where:

- Coordinates of the initial point.

- Coordinates of the final point.

- Slope.

If we know that and , then the slope of the line is:

The slope is undefined, which means that line is parallel to y-axis.

since your problem is x^4 = 81, what you have to undeo is the "to the fourth power" part.

the inverse (opposite operation) of "to the fourth power" is "to the fourth root".

  (x^4) ^ ¼   = 81 ^ ¼  

  81 = 3^4     so (3 ^ 4) ^ ¼   =   3 ^ 1   = 3

by hand: (3 ^ 4) ^ ¼   =   3 ^ (4 x ¼) = 3 ^ 1   = 3   (when you take a power to a power, multiply the exponents.)

or, do it by calculator. one way of finding the fourth root is to use ^ (1/4)
