Why isn’t there a commutative property for division?

Hello! 

To try to answer your question in short, to adhere to the cumulative property switching the numbers must equal the same thing. ie. 2+3=5 same as 3+2=5
and 3*2=6 same as 2*3=6

this breaks down though for subtraction and division. 3-2=1 but 2-3=-1 and same for division, 4/2=2 but 2/4= 1/2  

I hope this helps! Any questions please just ask! Thank you so much!

Actually Welcome to the Concept of the areas,

Area of a rectangle = length * width.

hence, l = 11 and w = 4

hence, 4*11 = 44 square units.

Area = 44 sq. units

Answer:

Correct answer:  sa · sb = 2/3 · (- 3/2) = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

line A - (x₁, y₁) = (3, -4)   and (x₂, y₂) = (6, -2)

line B - (x₁, y₁) = (-1, 5)   and (x₂, y₂) = (1, 2)

The slope is calculated using the following formula:

s = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

sa = (-2 - (-4)) / (6 - 3) = (-2 + 4) / 3 = 2 / 3

sa = 2 / 3

sb = (2 - 5) / (1 - (-1)) = -3 / 2

when lines are perpendicular to each other then the slopes are in the next relationship:

sa · sb = - 1

we will check:

sa · sb = 2/3 · (- 3/2) = - 1

God is with you!!!
