Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The number line</u>

It's a graphic representation of the real numbers, usually centered at the value 0 and where the positive numbers running to the right, the negative numbers running to the left.

The product (-4)(-2)(-1) can be operated by multiplying the signs apart from the magnitudes. Recall an odd number of negative signs results in a negative number:

(-) * (-) * (-) = -

The product of the magnitudes is 4*2*1=8. Thus the result is -8.

The representation of this number is shown in the image below.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}-5a+b=8&\text{add}\ 5a\ \text{to both sides}\\7a+9b=-32\end{array}\right\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}b=5a+8&(1)\\7a+9b=-32&(2)\end{array}\right\\\\\text{Substitute (1) to (2):}\\\\7a+9(5a+8)=-32\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\7a+(9)(5a)+(9)(8)=-32\\\\7a+45a+72=-32\qquad\text{subtract 72 from both sides}\\\\52a=-104\qquad\text{divide both sides by 52}\\\\\boxed{a=-2}\\\\\text{Put the value of}\ a\ \text{to (1):}\\\\b=5(-2)+8\\\\b=-10+8\\\\\boxed{b=-2}$

Using the diagram as marked, find the length

Anon25 [30]

just a quick note, that triangle is misleading some, since the HG side of 6 units, shows longer than GE which is 8, and of course 8 > 6.

Since GE is a perpendicular bisector, that means the angle at G is 90°.
