ANSWER
The correct answer is B
EXPLANATION
The given exponential expression is
We can rewrite this as,
We need to simplify to obtain a positive index, so we apply the following property,
This implies that,
This will finally simplify to,
Therefore the correct answer is B
I’m confused what we are suppose to do
slope-point form:
we need the slope (m) and a point.
y-y₀=m(x-x₀)
Given two point A(x₁,y₂) and B(x₂,y₂), the slope of the line is :
m=(y₂-y₁) /(x₂-x₁)
Example 3:
we can take two points:
A(12,2)
B(13,7)
m=(7-2) / (13-12)=5/1=5
therefore:
y-2=5(x-12)
y-2=5x-60
y=5x-60+2
y=5x-58
answer: y=5x-58
Example 4:
we can take two points.
A(0,0)
B(3,1)
m=(1-0)/(3-0)=1/3
Therefore:
y-0=1/3(x-0)
y=x/3
answer: y=x/3
