One of the numbers are negative
Remember this... a negative divided by a positive will result in a negative and a negative divided by a negative will result in a positive, the same goes for multiplication
As shown in the model below, there are three lines.
900,000=10*90,000
So there are 90,000 tens in 900,000.
<span>x-intercept is when y = 0
0 = -1/2x - 2
1/2x = -2
x = -4
x-intercept = (-4,0)
y-intercept is when x = 0
y = -1/2(0) - 2
y = -2
y-intercept = (0, -2)
(note that in the form y = mx+b, b is the y-intercept, so in y = -1/2x - 2, -2 is the y-intercept)
Now to graph, simply plot these two points (-4, 0) and (0, -2) and draw a line between them.
Best of luck!</span>
