If the line has a positive slope and a negative y-intercept, then the <span>points cannot lie on the line where x is negative and y is positive. The points never lie at quadrant 1. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.</span>
We know that x is the smaller number and y is the bigger number. We also know that the difference is 13, meaning x-y= -13. Since the sum of the two numbers is 59, x+y= 59
