Negative because if you take away from a negative, your just making it smaller... hope this helps!
The answer is B-Associative Property
First of all we have to find the slope
m = y₂-y₁ / x₂-x₁
m = -8 + 16 / -10 + 8
m = 8/-2
m = -4
y-y₁ = m (x-x₁)
y + 8 = -4 (x + 10)
y + 8 = -4x - 40
y = -4x -40 - 8
y = -4x -48
1 step: Place the point of the compass on point M and draw an arc, making sure the width of the compass opening is greater than 1/2MN.
2 step: Place the point of the compass on point N and draw an arc that has the same radius as previous one.
3 step: Connect two points of intersection of drawn arcs. Obtained line will be bisector.
Answer: option D.
If you have two statements p and q and

is
true, then

is also true.
In your case, statements are p - "x is odd" and q - "2x is even".
Then

- "x is not odd" and

- "2x is not even."
Hence

sounds as: "If 2x is not even, then x is not odd".
Answer: correct choice is D.
