Answer:

“two negatives = positive” rule works for multiplication and division.

Step-by-step explanation:

-5 + (-3) example

imagine a number line with 0 in the center. From (0) You move left 5 places to (-5) on the number line. Now you move another 3 more to the left (-3) and land on (-8).

You are combining the negatives. I hope this helps.

Explain why is 1/5 bigger than 0.15
Nitella [24]
1/5 is greater because it equals 0.2

0.2 has an imaginary 0 at the end, to make it 0.20

.20 > 0.15

Therefore, 1/5 is greater than 0.15

Find the slope of the line through the given points
coldgirl [10]
I can’t solve all of them but maybe one and I will give you the formula for you to solve the rest.
Slope = (y2 -y1) / (x2 -x1).
m= ( 16 -(-3)) / ( -14 -(-9))
m = (16+3)/(-14+9)
m = 19/ -5

In general, each of the variables in a formula is independent of the others. (Occasionally, you'll see a formula where that is not true, but then the "variable" will likely be indicated as a function of those things it is dependent upon.)</span>
