A negative times a negative is a positive. I am not sure if that's the question, but hopefully that helps if it was.

Because if something is a double negative, than the result of it would be a positive. So, it is kind of like this...

-1 x -1 = --1

-1 x -1 = 1

So, --1 = 1.

Hope this helps!!!

Find the slope of a line that passes through points (-3, 5) and (1, 2)

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

the slope is -3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

this is because you need to do rise/run not run/rise, you set it up as a table

<u>x l y</u> Then, you would just find the difference between the two x coordinates and the two y coordinates, and find whether they increase or decrease

-3,5 you can see that from -3 to postive 1 there

1,2 is an increase of 4. you can also see that from 5 to 2 there is a decrease of 3. The y and x point have to flop places to become rise/run and it shows that the slope is -3/4 :) i hope this helps

−(7 − 2x) + 7 = −7 solve for x

jekas [21]

First, remove the parentheses

-7+2x+7=-7

Cancel the equal terms.

2x+7=0

Subtract 7

2x= -7

Divide both sides by 2

Final answer is:

X= -3.5
