How to determine whether to move right or left on the number line when adding rational numbers?

1 answer:

7 0

So if you're adding two negatives you move left, positive you move right, and when you have to determine a negative, and a positive you just have to see which one is the farthest from zero which the farthest one's sign is either positive, or negative. Positive to move right, and negative to move left.

Which graph represents the function y = 2x – 4? A coordinate plane with a line passing through (negative 4, 0) and (0, 2). A coo

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

The third option: "A coordinate plane with a line passing through (0, negative 4) and (2, 0)."

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the equation defined by the function: y = 2x - 4 to check the (x, y) values they give you. If they both render true mathematical statements, those are indeed points on the plane that belong to the given line.

For the third case; the pairs (0,-4) and (2,0), both satisfy the equation of the line that is given.

For (0,-4): y = 2x - 4 becomes:

$(-4)=2(0)-4\\-4=0-4\\-4=-4$ which is a TRUE statement

For (2,0): y = 2x - 4 becomes:

$(0)=2(2)-4\\0=4-4\\0=0$ which is also a TRUE statement.

This option is the only one that verifies both given points as truly being part of the given line.
