Suppose x and y are two POSITIVE numbers so that -x and -y are negative. Then a negative minus a negative = (-x) - (-y) = -x +y If x > y the answer is negative If x = y the answer is zero If x < y the answer is positive
The answer depends on the signs of the original intercepts.x negative, y negative: negative slope becomes less negative and could go positive.x negative, y positive: positive slope becomes greater.x positive, y negative: positive slope becomes less positive and could go negative.x positive, y positive: negative slope becomes more negative.For 1 and 3, the slope changes sign when the y intercept crosses the origin.
The top left quadrant is II (2) (x is negative, y is positive) The top right quadrant is I (1) (x is positive, y is positive) The bottom left quadrant is III (3) (x is negative, y is negative) The bottom right quadrant is IV (4) (x is positive, y is negative)
It is both because above the origin it is positive and below the origin it is negative
y is positive in quadrants I and II and negative in III and IV.
Positive minus a negative = positive plus a positive two negatives make a positive 3- (-1) = 3 + 1 = 4 5- (-7) = 12
Quadrant I: x positive, y positive. Quadrant II: x negative, y positive. Quadrant III: x negative, y negative. Quadrant II: x positive, y negative.
Suppose x and y are two POSITIVE numbers so that -x and -y are negative. Then a negative minus a negative = (-x) - (-y) = -x +y If x > y the answer is negative If x = y the answer is zero If x < y the answer is positive
A negative minus a negative turns the latter into a plus positive,for example -6 minus -3 would be :-6 ++ 3 = -3A minus negative always turns into a plus positive...To get more Specific:Suppose x and y are two POSITIVE numbers so that -x and -y are negative. Then a negative minus a negative = (-x) - (-y) = -x +yIf x > y the answer is negativeIf x = y the answer is zeroIf x < y the answer is positive

No, the y-coordinate can be positive or negative.
Well, honey, turning a negative y into a positive y in slope is as easy as flipping a pancake. All you gotta do is multiply the entire equation by -1, and voila, your negative y becomes a positive y. Just remember, math may not always be a piece of cake, but with a little attitude and some basic algebra, you can conquer anything.
Quadrant I: Top Right: x positive, y positive Quadrant II: Top Left: x negative, y positive Quadrant III: Bottom Left: x negative, y negative Quadrant IV: Bottom Right: x positive, y negative
The difference between a positive integer and a negative integer is ALWAYS positive.Suppose X and Y are positive so that -Y is negative,The the difference two numbers, A and B is A - B so the difference between X and (-Y) is X - (-Y) which equals X + Y. The sum of two positive numbers is always positive.
x - -y = x + y.
