is the following statement sometimes,always or never true?negative - positive =negative defend your answer

1 answer:

7 0

It is always negative, because it keeps going down on the number line. Say it is negative 8 minus 5, it would be negative 13, because it adds to the negatives, so it would go deeper into the negatives.

How do you find the slope of a point

Hoochie [10]

A point doesn't have slope. Once you have TWO points, then the line between them has a slope. The slope is (how far the line rises from one point to the other) divided by (the level distance between them).

Write the equation of the line, given the y- and x-intercepts.

Archy [21]

The formula would be:
<span>y = mx + b
</span><span>
Now, let's look at the information we know.
m = slope
b = y-intercept
y-intercept = -6
x-intercept = -2
</span>
First, we would need to determine the slope. The formula for slope is m = $\frac{ y_{2} - y_{1} } { x_{2} - x_{1} }$

Plug your coordinates in and solve it.
$\frac{0 + 6}{-2 - 0}$ = 6/-2 = -3

Now, since we have the slope and y-intercept, we are ready to plug them into the formula.
y = -3x - 6

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-5,-7) and (4,-1)

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

$\frac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$m=\frac{rise}{run}=\frac{-1+7}{4+5}=\frac{6}{9}=\frac{2}{3}$
