-5/2 is equivalent to -2.5, and if you multiply 2.5 by 2 you get 5, and you have to have the negative, so add that to the 5 and you get -5. Hope this helps!
M = -6/4
b = 7
equation : y = -6/4x+7
The GCF of 18 and 36 is 18. To solve this, use the picture attached. After creating the boxes, find a number that both 18 and 36 can be divided by, for example, 9. Now that you have 9, divide both 18 and 36 by 9. That equals 2 and 4. Place the numbers underneath the boxes you made previously and find another number that both 2 and 4 are divisible by. 2 and 4 are both able to be divided into 2. Do 2 divided by 2 and 4 divided by 2. Now you have the numbers 1 and 2. There aren't any numbers that can be divided into 1 and 2, so now you are left with the numbers 9 and 2. Multiply the numbers together to get a GCF of 18. Hope this helped!
