Pick any negative integer you want for x. Let's say we pick x = -10. Replace x with this value. So replace x with -10
x - y = -1
-10 - y = -1
Now isolate y. We do this in two steps. First we add 10 to both sides. Then we multiply both sides by -1
-10 - y = -1
-10 - y + 10 = -1+10
-y = 9
-1*(-y) = -1*(9)
y = -9
So one ordered pair is (x,y) = (-10,-9). There are infinitely many of these ordered pairs. Another ordered pair is (-11,-10) which is found following the same steps as shown above. The only thing that matter is that x-y is equal to -1. There are infinitely many ways to subtract two values to get -1.
Answer:
- 2/9
Step-by-step explanation:
Learn Your Rules: (-)(-)(-) = Negative
The rest is easy. All you have to do is multiply it like normal fractions. You get 2/9. Tack on the negative on the back: -2/9
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Red and Green are parallel
Black and Blue are perpendicular
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines need to have the same slope. Lines red and green both have a slope of 1/2.
The slopes of two lines that are perpendicular have to be opposite reciprocals, and must be multiplied together to get -1. Line black has a slope of -4, and line blue has a slope of 1/4. Both of them multiplied together equals -1.
