What is All real numbers

True...or False

100

((2²)³) = 2⁵

False 

((2²)³) =2⁶ 

200

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.

True

300

the slope of the line 2y = 4x + 2 is 4. 

False: we must first rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form by solving for y:
2y = 4x + 2 (divide by 2)
y = 2x + 1
So the slope is 2.

400

the following equation:
4(x - 4) = 5x - 12 - x
has no solution

True 

4(x - 4) = 5x - 12 - x
4x - 16 = 4x - 12
-16 = -12 

No Solution
