A / b = -2

Take note:

to have a quotient with at negative sign, both a & b must have opposites signs. a can be a positive number while b is a negative number or vice versa. If both a and b have the same sign, its quotient will be a positive number.

Let us disregard the sign.
To arrive at the answer of 2, a must be twice the amount of b. meaning a = 2b.

For example: look for a if b is equal to 2. a = 2(2) ; a = 4.
a / b = 2
4 / 2 = 2
2 = 2

Now, we consider the sign of both numbers. a can be 4 while b can be -2 OR vice versa.

a / b = -2
4 / -2 = -2 or -4 / 2 = -2

For the following exercises, find the x- and y-intercepts of the graphs of each function.

jok3333 [9.3K]

The x- and y-intercepts of the graphs of the function described are; (2,0) and (4,0) respectively.

<h3>What are the x- and y-intercepts of the graph of the function?</h3>

It follows from the task content that the function given is; f(x) = −2| x +1 | + 6.

Since the x- and y-intercepts corresponds to x and y values for which y and x are zero respectively, it follows that;

x -intercept is;

0 = -2(x+1) + 6

2x = -2 +6

2x = 4

x = 4/2 = 2

y-intercept is;

y = -2(0+1) +6

y = 4.
