M = (1,4)
N = (5,2)

For M, you simply move to 1 on the x axis abs for 4 you move on the y axis. Same does for N, for 5 you move on the x axis and for 2 you move on the y axis.

Simplify the expression 5^3 x 5^-5

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{5^2}$ --- 1 over 5 squared

Step-by-step explanation:

When multiplying terms with a common base, you just add the exponents:

$x^a\times x^b=x^{a+ b}$

That's true even when you don't have any exponents.

$5\times5=5^1\times5^1=5^{1+1}=5^2=25$

$\rightarrow5^3\times5^{-5}\\\rightarrow5^{3-5}\\\rightarrow5^{-2}$

A negative exponent isn't fully simplified, so there's another rule to use:

$x^{-y}=\frac{1}{x^y}$

That is '1 over x to the y' if it's too small to read.

$\rightarrow5^{-2}=\frac{1}{5^2}$

What is the point-slope form of a line with slope -4 that contains the point

adoni [48]

Answer:

y-3 = -4(x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point slope form is

y-y1 = m(x-x1) where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is a point on the line

y-3 = -4(x --2)

y-3 = -4(x+2)
