On a number line, a number, b, is located the same distance from 0 as another number, a, but in the opposite direction. The numb

er b varies directly with the number a. For example b= 2 when a = - 3 -2. Which equation represents this direct variation between a and b? Ob= -a U b = a Ob-a=0 Ob(-a) = 0​

Answer: b = - a

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that b is located the same distance from 0 as another number a, but in opposite direction.

If b varies directly as a

Then,

b = - ka

Hence the opposite variation or relationship between a and b means they both carry opposite signs

Hence,

b = - a

Did I do this right? If not please explain!

Yep! Good job, you did it correctly.
Your y-intercept is equal to the constant of the equation (y-int = -2). Your movement/direction (or rise over run) is equal to the variable. Since your variable is x (which can also be written as 1x) means you move up one and over one (rise over run). This is because 1/1 is equal to 1.

-2(11-12x)= -4(1-6x)
GalinKa [24]

The given equation -2(11 - 12x) = -4(1 - 6x) has infinite solutions

<u><em>Solution:</em></u>

Given that we have to solve the given expression

Given expression is:

-2(11 - 12x) = -4(1- 6x)

We have to use distributive property to solve the given expression

The distributive property lets you multiply a sum by multiplying each addend separately and then add the products.

Which means,

a(b + c) = ab + ac

Apply this in given expression

-2(11 - 12x) = -4(1-6x)

-22 + 24x = -4 + 24x

When both sides of the equation are simplified, the coefficients are the same, then infinite number of solutions occur

If we end up with the same term on both sides of the equal sign, such as 24x = 24x, then we have infinite solutions
