The word in the problem that indicates that a negative sign should be used is "descend"

<h3></h3><h3>How many meters did he descend?</h3>

We know that he stops for water breaks four times, and between each water break, he descends 15 meters.

The written equation is:

4*(-15)m = -60m

Why the negative sign is used?

The negative sign is used because the hiker is descending, so its height is decreasing. The word in the problem that indicates that a negative sign should be used is "descend"

Ordered pairs that is satisfy to the equation y=-9x+3
trasher [3.6K]
Let x = 1. Substitute x = 1 into the equation:


y = -9X(1)+3


y = -9+3


y = -6


-> Ordered pairs are written in the form (x,y). Thus in this case, your ordered pair is (1,-6).

What are the x- and y-intercepts of the line? 2x – 3y = –12<br> Show work
yuradex [85]

Answer:

You can use the intercepts to graph the line. The graph of 2x + 3y = 12 crosses the x-axis at (6, 0), so its x-intercept is 6. The graph of 2x + 3y = 12 crosses the y-axis at (0, 4), so its y-intercept is 4.
