Both claims are false. In fact, 
and 
are one the multiplicative inverse of the other. This means, by definition of multiplicative inverse, that
So, it doesn't matter if is positive or negative: the multiplication of one number and its inverse will always be 1: for example,
Similarly, when you multiply two number, the sign of the product depends on the sign of the factors as follows:
So, the multiplication of two negative numbers is a positive number.
Answer:
y = -1/3 x
Step-by-step explanation:
what is the slope intercept form for x+3y=0
Slope intercept form solves for y:
x + 3y = 0
subtract x from both sides:
x + 3y - x = 0 - x
3y = -x
divide both sides by 3:
3y/3 = -x/3
y = -1/3 x
Answer:
A) Slope = -2 and y-int = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The easiest way to get the slope and y-intercept from an equation is to put it in slope-intercept form: y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
So, let's subtract 8x from both sides, leaving 4y on the left side:
8x + 4y = 4 -> 4y = -8x + 4
Now, let's divide both sides by 4, so that we can have just y on the left side:
y = -2x + 1
-2 is the slope, and 1 is the y-intercept.
