Flip the inequality sign 
so the answer is B

Answer:

(B) flip the inequality sign.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we consider an inequality such that -x\leq7, then if we multiply the inequality with a negative number such as -1, then the inequality becomes x\geq-7.

Also, if we divide the above inequality  -x\leq7, by a negative number that is  -1, then the inequality becomes x\geq-7.

Therefore, if we multiply or divide an inequality by a negative number, then it flips the inequality sign.

Hence, option (B) is correct.

Slope intercept of (2,-12) and (5,6)
nlexa [21]

Answer:

<em>The slope of the line is m=6.  </em>

<em>The y-intercept is (0,−24).  </em>

<em>The equation of the line in the slope-intercept form is y=6x−24.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line passing through the two points P=(x1,y1) and Q=(x2,y2) is given by m=y2−y1x2−x1.

We have that x1=2, y1=−12, x2=5, y2=6.

Plug the given values into the formula for the slope: m=(6)−(−12)(5)−(2)=183=6.

Now, the y-intercept is b=y1−m⋅x1 (or b=y2−m⋅x2, the result is the same).

b=−12−(6)⋅(2)=−24.

Finally, the equation of the line can be written in the form y=mx+b.

y=6x−24.

Answer:

The slope of the line is m=6.

The y-intercept is (0,−24).

The equation of the line in the slope-intercept form is y=6x−24.

Drew invests $70.00. It earns 50% interest annually.
VladimirAG [237]

Step-by-step explanation:

50% interest annually.

that means he gets 50% interest of the invested capital every year.

and that means he gets 50% of $70 in one year.

70 = 100%

1% = 100%/100 = 70/100 = $0.70

50% = 1%×50 = 0.7 × 50 = $35

he will earn $35 interest in one year.

as you noticed: 50% simply means 1/2 (as 100% stands for the whole).
