Answer:

- Integers, b ≠ 0 and d ≠ 0.

- r - s = (ad - bc)/bd.

- products and differences of integers are integers.

-  zero product property

- quotient.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rational numbers are integers that can take the form of numerator divided by a denominator, that is to say in the form of 'a/b;. So, we are given from the question or problem to prove and fill in the gap the correct information or data:

For the first part of the question:

The missing data in the gap = Integers; b ≠ 0 and d ≠ 0. That is to say the denominators can not be zero or say that the denominators are non zero. This is one of the properties or let us say one of the ways of identifying a Rational number.

For the second part:

The missing data in the gap = a/b - c/d =  (ad - bc)/bd. This is the representation in  a simplified form.

For the third part:

The missing data or information = products and differences of integers are integers.

For the fourth part:

The missing data or information: zero product property, that is to say the product of the numerators is not equal to zero, or it is non zero.

For the fifth part:

The missing data or information: quotient.  r - s is a quotient of two integers.

Write the equation of the line with a slope of 2 that passes through the points -2 -7 and 5 7
Marat540 [252]
Hello!
Really, we could finish this problem without knowing the slope or just having one of the given points.
However, since they gave us the slope, let's take the easier way.

y = 2x + b
To find b, we can plug in one of the points. (it doesn't matter which)
7 = 2(5) + b
7 = 10 + b
b = 7-10 = -3

So, the final equation is y = 2x - 3 or answer choice D.

Hope this helps!! let me know if you have ANY questions.

Answer:

Taking the square root

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-36=0

x^2=36

x=\pm6

Alternatively, you can use a difference of squares to factor and solve:

x^2-36=0\\(x+6)(x-6)=0\\x=-6,x=6
