State the slope of the line in simplest form.
dont be wit da bs

slope = -

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 5, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, - 4) ← 2 points on the line

m = = = -

true? is that what you're asking or do you mean something else?

since your problem is x^4 = 81, what you have to undeo is the "to the fourth power" part.

the inverse (opposite operation) of "to the fourth power" is "to the fourth root".

  (x^4) ^ ¼   = 81 ^ ¼  

  81 = 3^4     so (3 ^ 4) ^ ¼   =   3 ^ 1   = 3

by hand: (3 ^ 4) ^ ¼   =   3 ^ (4 x ¼) = 3 ^ 1   = 3   (when you take a power to a power, multiply the exponents.)

or, do it by calculator. one way of finding the fourth root is to use ^ (1/4)
