Can any negative integer be greater than a positive integer explain

Mathematics
1 answer:
Keith_Richards [23]3 years ago
5 0

No, it is impossible. Intuitively, a negative number sits at the left of 0 on the number line, and a positive number sits at the right of 0 on the number line. And a number x is greater than another number y if x sits at the right of y on the number line. So, every positive number is greater than any negative number.

Also, by definition, a positive number is greater than 0, and a negative number is smaller than zero. So, if x is positive and y is negative, you have

y < 0 < x

and since the relation of order "<" is transitive, this implies

y < x

Answer:

The constant of porportionality is k = 12.5; the equation that describes the relationship is y = 12.5x.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you divide the miles by the hours, it's always 12.5, meaning that k must be 12.5.

If x is the hours and k is 12.5, the equation that describes the relationship is y = 12.5x.
