A sample from a group of people would be false.
Y = -4/5 x - 2
-9 = -4/5 x - 2
-4/5 x = -9 + 2 = -7
-4x = 5(-7) = -35
x = -35/-4 = 35/4
For example you have the 52, and you have the 24, you look for a number that can go into both that is the largest possible for my example it would be 4 since no number greater can go into both, while 2 would be a option it would not be the greatest.
2 evens is an positive
1 odd,1 even is a odd
2 odd is an ofd
The recipricol of -2/9 is 9/2, or 4 1/2
remember to change the sign (forgot to myself)
hope this helps
