I do not agree. On the contrary, I disagree, and I assert that Kim's statement consists largely of horse feathers. I shall illustrate my position by means of a counter-example:
Let the first two numbers be -12 and -3.
Their quotient is +4.
Now, to the quotient, add the NEGATIVE number -1
The result is +3.
All the numbers Jim used to get the results were negative.
And another thing ! There's no such thing as "interger". Whole numbers are "integers".
=sqrt((x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2)=sqrt((15-14)^2+(8-4)^2)=sqrt(1+16)=sqrt(17)=4.123105625617661=4.1231
