Graph the lines by finding the points of intersection with the axes (intercepts):
1 answer:
The equation is in slope-intercept form, so you can read the equation to find the y-intercept is (0, -1).
Since the slope is -1/2, the graph goes <em>up</em> 1 unit for each 2 units to the <em>left</em>. The x-axis is up 1 unit from the y-intercept, so the x-intercept is 2 units to the left of x=0, at (-2, 0).
The graph is the line that goes through the points (0, -1) and (-2, 0).
_____
If you like, you can put the equation into intercept form, which shows you both the x- and y-intercepts at once. That form is ...
... x/a + y/b = 1
where <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> are the x- and y-intercepts.
If we add 1-y to the given equation, we have ...
... 1 = (-1/2)x - y
... 1 = x/(-2) + y/(-1) . . . . intercept form

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
p = Product of all odd integers between 500 an 598. So,
p = 501 x 503 x 505 ... x 595 x 597
q = Product of all odd integers between 500 and 602. So,
q = 501 x 503 x 505 ... x 595 x 597 x 599 x 601
From the above relations, we can see that q is equal to p multiplied by 599 and 601. i.e.
q = p x 599 x 601
or,
We need to evaluate 1p + 1q in terms of q. Using the value of p from above expression, we get:
