Explanation:
This can be explained by thinking numbers on the number line as:
Lets take we have to multiply a positive number (say, 2) with a negative number say (-3)
<u>2×(-3)</u>
Suppose someone is standing at 0 on the number line and to go to cover -3 , the person moves 3 units in the left hand side. Since, we have to compute for 2×(-3), The person has to cover the same distance twice. At last, he will be standing at -6, which is a negative number.
A image is shown below to represent the same.
<u>Thus, a positive times a negative is a negative number.</u>
Answer:
-4/1
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope, first plot the two points we are given on the provided coordinate plain. Then using rise/run (slope) find the distance between the two points going up and over or rising and running. So we go up 4 and over 1, this means the slope is 4/1. Since the line we just graphed is going top left towards bottom right, it is negative.

Answer:
-48/15, simplified to -16/5
Step-by-step explanation:
The reciprocal of -3/8 is -8/3. So the equation will be 6/5 x -8/3. Multiply numerators then multiply denominators to get -48/15. This can simplify to -16/5 by dividing both by 3.
