Summarize the rules for multiplying powers with the same base, dividing powers with the same base, and raising a power to a power.

Multiply powers with the same base : a^b * a^c = a^(b + c)so basically, u keep the bases and add the exponents.

dividing powers with the same base : (a^b) / (a^c) = a^(b - c)so basically, u keep the base and subtract the exponents

raising a power to a power : (a^b)^c = a^(b * c)...so basically, u multiply the exponents

Y= -2x-1 the negative in front of the 2 is because the slope is negative and the -1 is because it’s down 1 on the y axis.
