9 POWERED C = 243 (INDICES)

9^c = 243

3^(c)*2 = 243

3^(c)*2 = 3^5

Since the bases are the same the powers can be equated.

2*c =5

c = 5/2

c = 2 1/2

Check

9^2.5 = 243

Use the ^ or y^x or x^y key

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )
