What is the rule when multiplying or dividing by a negative number to solve inequalities?

2 answers:

7 0

When we multiply or divide by a negative to solve an inequality, it's the same as multiplying or dividing by a negative to solve a regular equation! Just remember to multiply or divide both sides by the same quantity, then simplify! Remember, when multiplying or dividing by a negative YOU MUST FLIP THE INEQUALITY SIGN.

You flip the inequality.
Example: if x > -y and you divide both sides by (-1) then you flip the inequality so: -x < y

What is the Slope of a line That contains (2,5) and (3, 1) Sketch the graph. Need help with this question.

Svetach [21]

Answer:

-4/1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, first plot the two points we are given on the provided coordinate plain. Then using rise/run (slope) find the distance between the two points going up and over or rising and running. So we go up 4 and over 1, this means the slope is 4/1. Since the line we just graphed is going top left towards bottom right, it is negative.

Whats slope intercept form for 2x- 5y=10

damaskus [11]

Answer:

y=-2/5x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you put x to the other side of the equation so you get y alone, getting the equation of -5y=-2x+10. In order to just have y on one side, you need to divide the whole equation by -5. This leads to the final answer of y=-2/5x-2.
