Multiplying by a positive represents adding the same number to zero over and over again. Multiplying by a negative represents subtracting the same number from zero over and over again.

Multiplying a negative by a negative represents subtracting the same negative number from zero over and over again.

HELP!!!!! ME!!! NEED HELP!

Y = -4x + 2
3x + 2y = 6 (or in y-intercept form y=-3/2x + 3)

2x - y = 7 equals y = 2x -7 in y-intercept form. This means that the line has a positive slope and therefore goes upwards. This cannot be a potential equation because the line shown is clearly pointing downwards.

y=5 indicates that the line is a horizontal line that neither points upwards or downwards. This cannot be a potential equation because the line is pointing downwards.

The only possible equations left are y= -4x + 2 and 3x + 2y = 6, both of which graph a line pointing downwards because their slopes are negative. Hope this helps!

Whats the rules of keep change flip

With Fractions? For example in 1/2 divided by 2/3 what you do is you leave the first fraction alone so it stays 1/2, then you change the sign from divide to multiply so it becomes 1/2 x by and then you take the next fraction and flip it upside down so 2/3 becomes 3/2. So 1/2 divided by 2/3 becomes 1/2 x 3/2. Only works with divisions
