Find the slopes form two points (1, -2) and (3,-4)

if points are (-1,-2) and (3,-4)

slope intercept form:  y = -1/2x - 5/2  or  y = -0.5x - 2.5

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b

answer: yes, since the line has a steeper rate of change than the exponential the y-values will be greater and they will only intersect one time.
