Yes, 23 has an inverse mod 1000 because gcd(23, 1000) = 1 (i.e. they are coprime).

Let <em>x</em> be the inverse. Then <em>x</em> is such that

23<em>x</em> ≡ 1 (mod 1000)

Use the Euclidean algorithm to solve for <em>x</em> :

1000 = 43×23 + 11

23 = 2×11 + 1

→   1 ≡ 23 - 2×11   (mod 1000)

→   1 ≡ 23 - 2×(1000 - 43×23)   (mod 1000)

→   1 ≡ 23 - 2×1000 + 86×23   (mod 1000)

→   1 ≡ 87×23 - 2×1000 ≡ 87×23   (mod 1000)

→   23⁻¹ ≡ 87   (mod 1000)

Give two points with integer coordinates that have a slope of 10/7 between them
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

(0,0) and (7,10)

Step-by-step explanation:

recall that the slope - intercept  form of a linear equation can be given as

y = mx + b

where m = slope and b = y intercept

in our case, we are given that slope, m = 10/7, hence our equation becomes

y = (10/7) x + b

since we are not given any information about the y-intercept, we can simply pick a value for b that is most convenient for us.

We pick b = 0, hence the equation simplifies to:

y = (10/7) x  ----- eq 1

we can see immediately that if x = 0, y must also = 0

proof if x = 0:

y = (10/7)(0) =0

since 0 is an integer, then (0,0) must be the first point.

we can also observe that for y to be an integer, we must get rid of the denominator 7. We can do this by multiply the right side by 7. Hence we let x = 7:

y = (10/7) x 7

y = 10

hence (7,10) is the second point.
