How does 10 x (-3)^24 simplify to positive 10 x 3^24 and not negative 10 x 3^24 ?

Below.-

Step-by-step explanation:

Because when a negative is taken to an even power the results is positive.

So (-3)^24 is positive as 24 is even, and is the same as 3^24,  and so the whole expression

10 * (-3)^24 = 10 ^ 3^24.

the slope of the first function is -3. (3/1)

the slope of the second function is 1. (13-10/6-3).

since |-3| is greater than |1|, the function with the steepest slope is the first.
