Be more specific. The decimal can be anywhere give more detail
Well, in the first one, 2 degrees below zero is -2 degrees, and then it says that it dropped 14 degrees, which means it dropped -14 degrees, so to know the total amount it dropped you would just have to add -2 plus -14 which is -16 degrees, so your answer for the first question would be the last answer, -16 degrees.
For the second question, just know that whenever a negative number is BY ITSELF in parentheses, that means it is used like a positive number in the equation. So (-12) automatically becomes 12. Now, since the problem is asking for a SUM, (the answer to an ADDITION problem; when you add instead of subtract), you would turn that minus symbol to a plus symbol, and add normally to get your final answer; 30 + 12 = 42. To check if this is correct, just type in <span>30 – (–12) to a calculator and you'll get the same answer! :D
Hope this helps! :3</span>
Answer:
- A. Slope = -2, y-intercept = 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Convert the given equation into slope-intercept form:</u>
- 3(y - 2) + 6(x + 1) - 2 = 0
- 3y - 6 + 6x + 6 - 2 = 0
- 3y + 6x - 2 = 0
- 3y = - 6x + 2
- y = - 2x + 2/3
The slope is -2, the y-intercept is 2/3
Correct choice is A
