28) Slope is (5-2)/(-2-4) = 3/-6 = -1/2 so a possible point-slope form is
y - 2 = -1/2(x-4)
29) y = -2 is a horizontal line. If you are wanting a line perp. to a horizontal line, you get a vertical line of the form x = a. Since it passes through (-2,-1), the point slope form is just x = -2 (there's no real point slope form because there is no y. vertical line does not care about y; all the y-values are on the vertical line)
30) Since 25*3 = 75, β(75) = β(25*3)=β25 * β3 = 5β3
31) β128 = β(64 * 2) = 8β2
32) β144 = 12 because 12*12 = 144
33) 4β(54) = 4β(9*6) = 12β6
34) 2β(32) = 2β(16*2) = 8β2
35) -6β175 = -6β(25*7) = -30β7
