The answer would be A. ( 1, 0.75 )
Explanation:
According to "PEMDAS" you need to do the parenthesis first and then exponents. Since there is only one thing in the parenthesis and it doesn't require any further actions to be made, you would move on to exponents.
The parenthesis and exponent part is asking you to raise 1/2, or 0.5 to the x power. The x in the equation equals the x in the coordinates that are your answer choices. Basically, you're just raising 0.5 to the value of the x in the coordinates.
After this, you multiply the number that you got by 1.5. Since in the equation it said that y = the result, whatever you got would be the y value.
So the value of x is the one that you plugged in, and y is the result.
DEMONSTRATION:
A. 0.5 * 1 (x) = 0.5
0.5 * 1.5 = 0.75
x = 1, y = 0.75
B. 0.5 * -2 = -1
-1 * 1.5 = -1.5
x = -2, y = -1.5
However the answer option is wrong because according to it y = 3
