When you add a positive number and a negative number, how can you tell whether the sum will be positive or negative? A. The sum will always be negative. B. The sum will always be positive. C. The sum will have a sign of the addend with the lesser absolute value. D. The sum will have the sign of the addend with the greater absolute value.

D

Because when you add them both, you always take the sign of the higher number

step-by-step explanation:

if the four friends split the cost, p, of the pizza evenly, then each friend pays one-fourth of the cost of the pizza.

the expression is   or  

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)
