Use the rules of exponents to simplify the expressions. show the answer in fraction or whole number form and simplify all math that can be done, including exponent part. 2 to the power of -1 ∙ 2 to the power of -4

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the expression .

Use the main properties of exponents:

1.

2.

Using the first property:

Using the second property

So, the answer as a fraction is

y = 3x+4

step-by-step explanation:

to find the slope

slope = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (-8-4)/ (-4-0)

    = -12/-4

  = 3

using the slope intercept form of a line

y= mx+b

we know the slope is 3

we know the y intercept is 4 ( the point where it crosses the y axis or x=0)

y = 3x+4
