No, that is not true. The absolute value is the distance a number is from zero. The distance of -9 to 0 is 9. 9 is not less than 4.
Answer: m = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope (m) = y2 - y1/,x2 - x1 : meaning increase in y divided by increase in x . it can also be written as ∆y/∆x
y1= 1, y2 = 1, x1 = 7, x2 = -2
Substitute for those values in the equation above
m = 1 -1/-2 - 7
= 0/-9
Therefore,
m = 0
The slope of the line passing through those coordinates = 0
9/12 is number 1. and Number 2 is 1/2 =4/8 and that is 1/2
