Start at 0 and go back 7 yards for their loss. You are not at -7 on the number line.
Move 12 to the right because of the gain. It takes 7 or those 12 just to get back to zero and you can still move 5 more to the right. You will wind up with a gain of 5 yards. (+5)

Answer:

The result of the two plays is that the bears gained 5 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can denote the lost values as negative and won value as positive.

Given is - the bears football team lost 7 yards and then gained 12 yards.

If we take the initial start point to be zero, we can calculate the resultant.

$0-7+12=+5$

Or we can calculate simply :

$-7+12=+5$

Hence, the result of the two plays is that the bears gained 5 yards.

Vector v has a direction of (-4,27) find the direction angle for v

mixas84 [53]

$\bf \begin{array}{lclll}
\ \textless \ &-4&,&27\ \textgreater \ \\
&\uparrow &&\uparrow \\
&a&&b
\end{array}\qquad tan(\theta)=\cfrac{b}{a}\implies \measuredangle \theta=tan^{-1}\left( \frac{b}{a} \right)
\\\\\\
\measuredangle \theta=tan^{-1}\left( \frac{27}{-4} \right)$
