Answer: \frac{16}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise it is important to remember  the multiplication of signs:

(+)(+)=+\\(-)(-)=+\\(-)(+)=-\\(+)(-)=-

In this case, given the following expression:

(-8)(-\frac{2}{3})

You can idenfity that both factors are negative. Then, the product (The result of the multiplication) will be positive.

Then, in order to get the product, you need to multiply the numerator of the fraction by -8. So, you get:

 \frac{(-2)(-8)}{3}=\frac{16}{3}

You can notice that the numerator and the denominator of the fraction obtained cannot be divided by the same number; therefore, the fraction cannot be simplified.

One cup of cooked zucchini has 1.9 grams of protein. How much protein is in 0.5 cup off zucchini?
Basile [38]
I am pretty sure it is 0.95. This is because 0.5 is half of a whole. So, half of 1.9 is 0.95. :) I hope this helped.

Is this right? and do you use not use the x-intercepts?
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

You are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercept could be written the way you have or also it can be written as a point (-1, 0).

The y-intercept could also be written as a point (0, -2) But they are commonly written the way you have also.

So, the slope is -2. But just to be clear. That slope of -2 has nothing to do with the y-intercept of -2.

If you mark all the points on the line, to get from one point to the next point, you go down 2 and over (positive direction) 1. The down 2 in math is -2 and the over 1 is just 1. The slope is that ratio of -2/1.

Slope tells us if the line is going up or down, steep or flat, even horizontal. It was coincidence only that the y-intercept and slope were the same number.
