Answer:

Negative

Step-by-step explanation:

Since multiplication of two negative numbers is always positive, we get

x *x =x^2 and -x*-x =x^2

This gives us an idea about square root

A positive number can be expressed

as a*a and -a*-a

Thus there will be two square roots one positive which is called the principal square root

The other number will be the same in value but with a negative sign.

Definition: <span>The square root of a number is another number, which on multiplying with itself, will give the original number.
</span>
Every positive number has two square roots. One square root is positive, while the other is exactly same, but negative. The positive square root of a number is called its principle square root. For example, 10 and -10 are the two square roots of 100, but 10 is called the principle square root. 

Hence e<span>very positive number has two square roots , a principal square root and its opposite negative.</span>

Find the equation of the line that
olganol [36]

Answer:

y=\frac{1}{2}x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal gradients(slopes) so the slope of your new line would be 1/2. Then you use the point to find the new y-intercept

y=mx+b

2=\frac{1}{2}(8)+b

2=4+b

B=-2

y=\frac{1}{2}x-2

Writing and Solving an Equation to Find Negative Integers Two negative integers are 5 units apart on the number line, and their
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

-23

Step-by-step explanation:

Let first negative integer = x

The second = x +5

Their product = 126, hence,

x * (x +5) = 126

x^2 + 5x = 126

x^2 + 5x - 126 = 0

Two numbers whose product gives - 126 and sun gives 5

x(x + 14) - 9(x+14) =0

(x - 9) = 0 or (x + 14) = 0

x = 9 or x = - 14

Since x is said to be a negative integer,, the our x = - 14

First integer = - 14

Second integer = (x + 5) = (-14 + 5) = - 9

Sum of both integers :

-14 + - 9 = - 23
