What is the sign of the product (–5)(–3)(–8)(–6)?

a. positive, because the products (–5)(–3) and (–8)(–6) are negative, and the product of two negative numbers is positive

b. positive, because the products (–5)(–3) and (–8)(–6) are positive, and the product of two positive numbers is positive

c. negative, because the products (–5)(–3) and (–8)(–6) are negative, and the product of two negative numbers is negative

d. negative, because the products (–5)(–3) and (–8)(–6) are positive, and the product of two positive numbers is negative

Positive, because the products (–5)(–3) and (–8)(–6) are positive, and the product of two positive numbers is positive.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you multiply 2 negatives, the product will become positive.

The product of -5 and -3 is 15.

The product of -8 and -6 is 48.

The products are both positive.

15 * 48 = 720

Two positive numbers multiply to a positive product.

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17

answer: 1 + 1 = 11
