Answer 1

Given

Grant and Pedro are comparing their stocks for the week

On Monday, their results were opposite.

for Monday if Grant lost $4

Explain how you would graph their results for Monday.

To proof

let us assume that value of stocks after a week = x

As given in question

for Monday if Grant lost $4

i.e x= - $4

result were opposite for grant and pedro.

thus

for Monday if Pedro gain $4

i.e x = $4

Therefore two values are

x = -4  and x = 4 is shown in graph given below.

This shows that x = -4 lies left of 0 to x-axis and x = 4 lies right of  0 to x- axis.

 

Answer 2

Oposite, so mirror the oposite

if grant lost x then pedro gained x

grant lost $4 so pedro gained $4
