Find the missing exponent: 27 = 3

The missing exponent is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Make an equation

27 = 3^x

Step 2:  Make sure the base is the same

27 is also 3^3

3^3 = 3^x

Since they are same base, you can now evaluate the exponents.

3 = x

 The missing exponent is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope is always the factor of x.

in our case here : -2

if you need it plainly written :

y - 9 = -2(x - 8)

y - 9 = -2x + 16

y = -2x + 25

now it is fully visible.
