b. Find the slope of the line and explain what it means.
c. Find the y-intercept and explain what it means.
d. Write the equation of the line.
e. I'm trying to decide whether I can afford to rent a full-size car to drive to
St. Louis, which is about 180 miles away. How much would that cost for a
one-way trip? How much would it cost for a round trip of 360 miles?

(01.03 mc) which of the following is a step in simplifying the expression x multiplied by y to the power of 2 over x to the power of negative 3 multiplied by y to the power of 3, the whole to the power of negative 4. select one: a. x to the power of negative 4 multiplied by y to the power of negative 2, the whole over x to the power of negative 7 multiplied by y to the power of negative 1. b. x to the power of negative 4 multiplied by y to the power of negative 8, the whole over x to the power of 12 multiplied by y to the power of negative 12. c. x to the power of negative 4 multiplied by y to the power of negative 8, the whole over x to the power of negative 3 multiplied by y to the power of 3. d. x to the power of negative 4 multiplied by y to the power of negative 2, the whole over x to the power of negative 3 multiplied by y to the power of 3.
