The formula y=Mx + B is the slope intercept equation of a line. If you where to graph this on a 2 dimensional graph with x and y axes the number represented by M would be the slope of the line. A positive value of M would mean a positive slope and the line will rise as one views it from left to right. A negative value of M would indicate a negative slope and the line will descend as one views it from left to right. A value of zero for M would indicate a horizontal line.

What is positive 12 plus negative 18?

Positive 12 plus negative 18 equals negative 6. This is because when you add a positive number to a negative number, you effectively subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger absolute value. In this case, 18 is larger than 12, so 18 minus 12 equals 6, and since the result is from a negative number, the final answer is negative 6.


What is negative 8 plus 10?

Why is the sum of a negative number and a positive number is sometimes positive sometimes negative and sometimes zero?

The sum of a negative number and a positive number can be positive, negative, or zero depending on their absolute values. If the positive number has a greater absolute value than the negative number, the result is positive. Conversely, if the negative number has a greater absolute value, the result is negative. If their absolute values are equal, the sum equals zero.
