Answer:
It changes negative numbers to positive.
Step-by-step explanation:
Absolute value is the measure of a numbers distance from 0. You can't have negative distance, so absolute value of negative numbers is positive and absolute value of positive numbers is always positive. The absolute values of 5 and -5 are both 5 because they are both 5 units away from 0 on a number line, just in opposite directions.
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
The sections of the parallel roads split by the transversals are in proportion, that is
=
( cross- multiply )
300 first = 577500 ( divide both sides by 300 )
first = 1925 ft
Thus
Elm st → Maple st = 1925 + 350 = 2275 ft → B
Answer:
8 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
In 2 hours, the clerical secretary can do 1/4 of the job. (The executive secretary does 3/4 of the job - or 3 times as much - in the same 2 hours.)
Since it takes the clerical secretary 2 hours to do 1/4 of the job, it will take them four times that to do it themselves. 2x4=8.
12/6 is 2 bottles for a dollar
one bottle is 50 cents
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to find the slope of the line. We can plug in both coordinates in to the slope formula.
The slope formula is:

So I will use (-3,4) as the first coordinate, and (7,-1) as the second coordinate.
x₁ = -3
y₁ = 4
x₂ = 7
y₂= -1
I will plug in these values to find the slope.

Now that we know the slope is -1/2, we can plug in the slope and a point into the point slope equation. Then we can solve for y.

I have attached an image of what this graph should look like. Since the slope is -1/2, the y value should decrease by 1/2 every time you move over by 1 on the x axis. And since the equation says "+5/2" we know we have to shift the graph up by 5/2. The y-intercept will be 5/2.
I added another image that shows how to graph an equation using the equation y=mx+b
