No, it is impossible. Intuitively, a negative number sits at the left of 0 on the number line, and a positive number sits at the right of 0 on the number line. And a number x is greater than another number y if x sits at the right of y on the number line. So, every positive number is greater than any negative number.

Also, by definition, a positive number is greater than 0, and a negative number is smaller than zero. So, if x is positive and y is negative, you have

$y < 0 < x$

and since the relation of order "<" is transitive, this implies

$y < x$

Line A is perpendicular to line B. The slope of line A is -1/9 what is the slope of line b?

Pani-rosa [81]

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}}
{\stackrel{slope}{-\cfrac{1}{9}}\qquad \qquad \qquad \stackrel{reciprocal}{-\cfrac{9}{1}}\qquad \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{+\cfrac{9}{1}}\implies 9}$

Sue drank 2/5 of her water bottle and sally drank 4/10 of her water bottle how much water did both girls drank?

stealth61 [152]

well, clearly the LCD from the denominators of 5 and 10 is just 10, thus

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{Sue}}{\cfrac{2}{5}}+\stackrel{\textit{Sally}}{\cfrac{4}{10}}\implies \stackrel{\textit{LCD of 10}}{\cfrac{(2)2~~+~~(1)4}{10}}\implies \cfrac{2+4}{10}\implies \cfrac{6}{10}\implies \stackrel{\textit{simplified}}{\cfrac{3}{5}}$
