True
There are only two negative integers, so there is no way it will become positive if you are adding them together.

False because not all integers are negative. For example A positive integer plus a positive integer equals a positive integer.

Write the equation of a line that passws through the point (1,7) and is perpendicular to y=1/2x-5

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

$y=-2x+5$

Step-by-step explanation:

For one line to be perpendicular to another, their slopes must multiply to -1. So, we really want the line with slope $-1/(1/2)$ = -2$ that passes through the point $(1, 7)$ .

Recall the point-slope form of a line. If you have a point $(x_{1}, y_{1})$ and a slope $m$ , the line through that point with the given slope is $y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})$ . Plugging in our given point and slope gives our line: $y-7=-2(x-1)$ (point-slope form).
