I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of the amazing device known as a calculator but the answer is 1,188
Find the negative reciprocal of the given line's slope in order to determine what the slope of the line will be.
-2/5 -> -5/2 -> 5/2
Your line now looks like this: y = 5/2x + b
Now, substitute the given point into the y and x variables and solve for b.
y = 5/2x + b
-3 = 5/2(2) + b
-3 = 5 + b
-8 = b
You are now done. The line is y = 5/2x - 8.
No
If it was multiplication, it would be the same, but division is not
Well 287-162=125 so, what numbers also equal the same?
well, lets say you had 469 cookies and only 344 were eaten. how many are left? 125
So 469-344 is = to 287-162
