Answer:
1. rational number
2. a positive rational number
Step-by-step explanation:
A rational number is a number that can be expressed as a simple fraction. When two rational numbers are multiplied together, the only logical answer would be for the outcome/product to also be rational.
The reciprocal of a positive rational number is also a positive rational number because if the original number was negative, the reciprocal would also be negative since the signs wouldn't change (in this case, the original number is positive). Since the original number is already a rational number, just by flipping it (the reciprocal), it would not change to an irrational, but instead stay the same.
Step-by-step explanation:
(12xy)/(x-y)
(12*3*-1)/(3- -1) [putting value of x and y in place]
(-36)/4
-36/4

d. y = 3/4x + 17/4.
To write the slope-intercept form y = mx + b of a line passing through (-3, 2) and (1,5).
First, we have to calculate the slope m.
m = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁), with (x₁, y₁) = (-3, 2) and (x₂, y₂) = (1, 5)
m = (5 - 2)/(1 - (-3))
m = 3/4
Second, we have to find the y-intercept.
y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Using one of the two ordered pair and plug it in for x and y in the equation y = mx + b.
Taking the ordered pair (1, 5):
5 = 3/4 (1) + b
5 = 3/4 + b
Solving for b
b = 5 - 3/4
b = [5(4) - 3(1)]/4
b = (20 - 3)/4
b = 17/4
Finally, write down the slope-intercept equation of the form y = mx + b, with m = 3/4 and b = 17/4:
y = mx + b
y = 3/4x + 17/4
