Which property tells us to multiply the powers to simplify

There are a couple of operations you can do on powers

We can multiply powers with the same base

x4⋅x2=(x⋅x⋅x⋅x)⋅(x⋅x)=x6

xa⋅xb=xa+b

This is an example of the product of powers property tells us that when you multiply powers with the same base you just have to add the exponents.

d

step-by-step explanation:

given

y + 3 = - 4(x - 2) ← distribute the parenthesis

y + 3 = - 4x + 8 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

y = - 4x + 5 → d

step-by-step explanation:

let

we know that

the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point when the value of x is equal to zero

so

the y-coordinate of the point a is the y-intercept

the answer part a) is

the value of y-intercept is

part b) find the slope m

we know that

the value of the slope is equal to

substitute the values

therefore

the answer part b) is

the value of the slope is equal to

the general answer is

the slope is

the value of y-intercept is
