Mathematics

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

An absolute value is the distance a number is from 0 on the number line. So, regardless if it is a negative or a positive number, the distance from that number to 0 will always be positive. For example, -5 is 5 units away from 0, and 5 is also 5 units from zero. They have the same absolute value, even though one is negative and the other is positive.

Answer:

You can describe absolute value as a number's (Negative or positive) distance from zero.

Step-by-step explanation:

Say you have 4 and -4. 4's absolute value is four because it is four number units away from zero. -4 is a negative number but its absolute value would still be positive four because it is still four number units away from zero even though those number units are negative.

Write the equation of a line, in SLOPE INTERCEPT FORM, that is perpendicular to the given equation and passes through the given
adoni [48]

Step-by-step explanation:

slope interception formula is

y-y1=m(x-x1)

where m is m=y-y1/x-x1 in this case m=-2 because the line we are trying to find is parallel to the given one y=-2x-6 where slope k=-2

so the final equation would be

y-1=-2(x-(-4))

y-1=-2x-2*4

y=-2x-8+1=-2x-7

Plz help :( im trying to understand this but Idk how it works?
djyliett [7]

Answer:

LEFT

k + 3 = 20,

k = 17

RIGHT

3x + 5 = 32,

k = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

For the left side, you have k + 3 on one side equaling 20, so the equation is

k + 3 = 20

To solve is as follows

k + 3 = 20

  - 3    - 3

     k = 17

For the right side,

You have 3 x's and 5 1's right? Adding them together will equal 32 (Other side

So your equation is 3x + 5 = 32

To solve is as follows

3x + 5 = 32

    - 5     -5

      3x = 27

Dividing both sides by 9 we get x = 9

Reasoning; you want to cancel out everything with x so that you got x alone on one side.

Hope this helps, if not comment on this telling me which step I did that you dont understand and I'll explain it.
