It becomes a positive number. A number's absolute value is the number of spaces it is away from 0 on a number line. If you're on negative 5, it is 5 spaces away from 0, so it's absolute value is 5.

URGENT HELP What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-7, -4) and has a

shepuryov [24]

The final equation is:

$y=x+3$

Further explanation:

The general form of equation of a line in slope-intercept form is:

$y=mx+b$

Here m is the slope

Given

m=1

(x,y) = (-7,-4)

$Putting\ the\ value\ of\ slope\ in\ equation\\y=(1)(x)+b\\y=x+b$

To find the value of b, we have to put the point in the equation

$-4=-7+b\\-4+7=b\\b=3$

The final equation is:

$y=x+3$

Keywords: Slope-intercept form, equation of line

The length of a rectangle is 9 cm more then half the width. Find the length of the perimeter is 60cm

stira [4]

length = 1/2 w+9

perimeter= 60 =2(l+w)

substitute in for length

60 = 2(1/2 w +9 +w)

60 = 2 (3/2 w +9)

distribute

60 = 3w + 18

subtract 18 from each side

42 = 3w

divide by 3 on each side

14 = w

length = 1/2 w + 9

length = 1/2 (14) +9

7 + 9

16cm
