ASAP!! simplify x^-2 show work

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Remove parentheses.

2) Use negative power rule: x^-a = 1/x^a.

hence, the answer is 1/x^2.

Always start on the y-axis.

rise/run

First things first, you have to know your positives, negatives, zeros, and undefined.

To make an equation from the graph you have to know your formula.

y=mx+b

You do the rise first. The rise on the graph is 3. The run is 2. So, that'll make it 3/2. m=slope.

b=y-axis. b=1.

y=3/2x+1 (Example from the image)
