It is not because always remember, a positive is greater than a negative. This equation is showing a negative being greater than a positive. That's like saying I'm taller than you.
I can’t really see the graph
This equation factored fully is
8x(3x-8)
First find the slope -8 + 2 / -15 + 24 = -6 / 9 = -2 / 3 is the slope. Now use subsitution with an order pair to find the y - intercept. -2 = -2/3(-24) + b, and you find that the y - intercept is -18 ( y - intercept is b). So to find the x - intercept you know that y has to be 0, and create 0 = -2/3x -18, and find that the x-intercept is -27. In order pair form x - intercept would look like (-27,0) and y-intercept would look like (0,-18). Hope this helps.
This one's a tricky one. Subtracting the respective coordinates is the first step. But that in itself doesn't give the distance; there's some squaring and adding and square rooting to do. I'm going to go with
Answer: false
Rather than worry about this confusing question, let's review the distance formula. I find it easier to think of as the Pythagorean theorem. The distance <em>r</em> between points (<em>a,b</em>) and (<em>c,d</em>) satisfies

When I'm doing math I usually try to avoid taking a square root. But if we're asked directly for the distance, it's often unavoidable:
