Whether both are positive or not, you divide rise / run.

Does a negative line have a different slope than a positive one?

Yes. If the fraction is the same, the negative slope would have at least one negative number, while the positive would have both positive numbers. I'm pretty sure. :)


Do whole numbers and intgers have no numbers in common?

Whole numbers are positive numbers from zero to infinity. Integers are both positive and negative numbers. So whole numbers and integers have positive numbers in common, but only integers have negative numbers. Both have zero, and both have no fractions.


Is a negative slope steeper than a posotive slope?

In general, the steepness of a slope is determined by its absolute value, not the sign. A negative slope indicates a downward trend, while a positive slope indicates an upward trend. If both slopes have the same absolute value, they are equally steep, but a negative slope will visually appear to descend, while a positive slope will ascend. Thus, a steeper slope can be negative or positive, depending on its absolute value.


Would the same methods work if both the numbers were positive?

Yes, the same methods would generally work if both numbers are positive, as mathematical operations and problem-solving techniques apply consistently across positive numbers. However, the specific context or method may influence the outcome or efficiency. For instance, certain strategies might be more optimal for positive numbers compared to dealing with negative or mixed-sign numbers. Thus, while the underlying principles remain the same, the implementation may vary.


When adding integers and both numbers are negative is the answer positive?

No, it is not.

What are some Real examples for negative slope and positive slope?

A positive slope is simply a slope going upward on a graph from left to right. A negative slope is a slope going downward from left to right. Often, negative slopes are the reverse of positive slopes and are both depending on the person's direction.


How do you find the product of two numbers when both numbers are positive?

It is a positive.

What has both a negative and positive?

An integer has both positive and negative numbers.


What is four times negative six?

4 x -6 = -24 A good way to remember how to do this is to multiply the two numbers as you would if they were both positive. Then, if only one of the numbers is a negative, the answer will be a negative. If both numbers are a negative, the answer will be a positive.


Can a rational number be negative in the denominator?

Yes. It can also be negative in the numerator. Both positive and negative numbers (as well as zero) can be rational numbers. Both positive and negative numbers can be irrational numbers. Both positive and negative numbers (as well as zero) can be integers.


Do metals have both positive and negative oxidation numbers?

No, the can only have positive oxidation numbers

Why do numbers have both positive and negative roots?

because you can get a positive number as EITHER a product of 2 positive numbers OR the product of the negatives of the SAME 2 numbers; the product of 2 negative numbers is positive.


What is the quotient of positive and negative integers?

The quotient is what you get when you divide two numbers. If both numbers are positive, the quotient will be positive. If both numbers are negative, the quotient will be positive. If one number is positive and one number is negative, their quotient will be negative.


Does a metal or nonmetal have both positive and negative oxidation numbers?

A metal typically has only positive oxidation numbers, while a nonmetal can have both positive and negative oxidation numbers. Metals tend to lose electrons (positive oxidation numbers) to form cations, while nonmetals can gain or lose electrons to form a variety of oxidation states.
