What you're seeing here is 12 being multiplied by its reciprocal. 12 * 1/12 = 1. This is an example of a multiplicative inverse; a multiplicative inverse is when you multiply a number by its reciprocal (1 over the number).
Remember, |n|≥0 for all real numbers n
so
-|x|=0
times -1
|x|=0
true, x=0, has a solution
|x|=-15
false, can't have negative absolute value
-|x|=12
|x|=-12
false, no negative absolute value
-|-x|=9
|-x|=-9
false, no negative absolute value
-|-x|=-2
|-x|=2
x=2 or -2
true, has solutions
the ones that have no solutions are
|x|=-15
-|x|=12
-|-x|=9
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Challenge # 1
Line has a negative slope with positive slope.
Therefore, equation will be,
y = 1.5x - 6
Parallel line to the given line will have same slope = 1.5 but with different y-intercept.
Equation of the parallel line → y = 1.5x + 6
Challenge # 2
Line has a negative y-intercept = -1 (Approx.)
Slope of the line = negative
Therefore, equation of the line will be,
y = -3.7x -1
Line parallel to the given line will have same slope but different y-intercept.
Equation of the parallel line → y = -3.7x + 1
Challenge # 3
Line with negative slope and no y-intercept.
y = -0.8x
Parallel line to the given line will have same slope and different y-intercept.
Equation of the parallel line → y = -0.8x + 1
Challenge # 4
Line in the graph has positive slope and negative y-intercept.
y = -5 + 4.2x
Line parallel to the given line will have same slope but different y-intercept.
Equation of the parallel line → y = - 7 + 4.2x
Answer:
area of trapezoid/trapezium = 
h=height
a and b are the parallel sides (top 2.5 and bottom 6 in this pic)
so
