Answer:
It's a function that associates a real number x with a positive real number using the flowing definition: If the number is not negative (so either positive or 0) the absolute value is x. If x is negative, the absolute value is -x.
This means that to find the absolute value of x you must first determine if x is negative or not, and if it is, multiply it by -1. If it isn't, leave it as it is.
Since the absolute value is a function (of a given number), you can't just plot that number in the number line but the function (so in this case absolute value must be taken first.
The absolute value of x is never negative, so given the absolute value of x we can't determinate if x was positive or negative (if x =/ 0) before the absolute value was taken.
Answer:
1/18
3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
18 = 18/1 if the reciprocal means to flip the denominator and the numerator then just witched them so it would be 1/18
2/3 would be 3/2
Answer:
7

Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines have equal slopes.
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
L₁ is y = 5x + 1 ← in slope- intercept form
with slope m = 5
L₂ is 2y - 10x + 3 = 0 ( subtract - 10x + 3 from both sides )
2y = 10x - 3 ( divide all terms by 2 )
y = 5x - 
← in slope- intercept form
with slope m = 5
Since L₁ and L₂ have equal slopes then they are parallel lines
Start at -4 and go to the right 6 times on the number line and you should end up with 2
