The statement is false .

let ; n=-5

m=-6

n - m= -5 -( -6 )

= -5 + 6

= 1

which is not a negative real number .

therefore it shows that negative real number are not closed under substrsction.

the process or skill of taking one number or amount away from another.

Find the midpoint of the segment with the following end points (10,5) and (6,9)

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

The mid-point between the endpoints (10,5) and (6,9) is:

$\left(x,\:y\right)=\left(8,\:7\right)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let (x, y) be the mid-point

Given the points

(10,5)

(6,9)

Using the formula to find the mid-point between the endpoints (10,5) and (6,9)

$\left(x,\:y\right)=\left(\frac{x_2+x_1}{2},\:\:\frac{y_2+y_1}{2}\right)$

Here:

$\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(10,\:5\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(6,\:9\right)$

Thus,

$\left(x,\:y\right)=\left(\frac{x_2+x_1}{2},\:\:\frac{y_2+y_1}{2}\right)$

$\left(x,\:y\right)=\left(\frac{6+10}{2},\:\frac{9+5}{2}\right)$

$\left(x,\:y\right)=\left(8,\:7\right)$

Therefore, the mid-point between the endpoints (10,5) and (6,9) is:

$\left(x,\:y\right)=\left(8,\:7\right)$

Cities A & B are 5 inches apart on a map. Cities Ce Dare 4 inches apart. If C & D are 900 miles apart how many miles apa

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

Cities A and B are 1,125 miles apart

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Distance between A and B in the map = 5 inches

Distance between C and D in the map = 4 inches

Real distance between C and D = 900 miles

2. How many miles apart are cities A and B?

We will solve the question, using Direct Rule of Three, as follows:

Distance in the map Real distance

A - B 5 inches x

C - D 4 inches 900 miles

***************************************************

4x = 900 * 5

4x = 4,500

x = 4,500/4

x = 1,125 miles

Cities A and B are 1,125 miles apart
