What operation makes the statement true; 18 __ (-20) =-2

Mathematics

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\text{+}}

Step-by-step explanation:

To make this statement true, we want to make it so that when -20 is "<em>something</em>'d" to 18, we get -2.

Let's try all the common operators first - add, subtract, multiply, divide.

Let's try add.

If we put a plus sign there:

18 + (-20) = -2

Adding a negative is the same as subtracting a positive.

18-20=-2

This is true! 18 - 20 is indeed -2. This means + is the right operator.

For fun, let me briefly go over what happens with all the other operators.

Subtract:

18 - (-20) = -2\\\\18+20=-2\\\\28 \neq -2

Multiply:

18 \cdot (-20) = -2\\\\-360 \neq -2

Divide:

18 \div (-20) = -2\\\\-0.9 \neq -2

Hope this helped!

Find the slope of the line through each pair
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:A) -4/3 B) 1/2 C) -5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

For A) let (x1, y1) = (8, -7), (x2, y2) = (5, -3)

Slope = (-3 -(-7)) / (5 - 8) = 4/-3

For B) let (x1, y1) = (-5, 9), (x2, y2) = (5, 11)

Slope = (11 - 9) / (5 - (-5)) = 2/10 = 1/2

For C) let (x1, y1) = (-8, -4), (x2, y2) = (-4, -9)

Slope = (-9 -(-4)) / (-4 - (-8)) = -5/4
