<span>Look at the definition of multiplicative inverse. If two numbers are multiplicative inverses of each other, then by definition, their product will be equal to 1. And 1 is a positive number. If both numbers being multiplied are positive, then the result is positive. And of both numbers being multiplied are negative, then the result is still positive. But if one number is positive and the other is negative, then the result is negative. So if you want a positive result, then both numbers you're multiplying have to have the same sign. And since we want a result of 1 for multiplicative inverses and since 1 is positive, then the numbers being multiplied have to have the same sign.</span>
Answer: You find midpoint by adding the two x values together and dividing by 2, then adding the two y values together and dividing by two.
X/2=8/9 | *2
x=16/9≈ 1,78
2. 1 $.........1,09 Euro
x$...........157 Euro
x=157*1/1,09≈144,04 $
Two parallel lines never intersect, therefore they will never have a solution.
One line could be x=6 and the other could be x=2
Hope this helps :)
Solution:
Rewrite 3 ≥ y - 2 for easier calculation:
y - 2 ≤ 3
Move the term:
y ≤ 3 + 2
y ≤ 5
When graphing the solution, filled dot (black arrow) is used for ≤ and ≥ while empty dot (white arrow) is used for < >
