Which of the following statements best describes the location of −(−2) on a number line? a. it is 2 units to the right of 0 b. it is 2 units to the left of 0. c. it is 2 units to the right of 2. d. it is 2 units to the left of 2.

A. It is 2 units to the right of 0.

Step by step explanation

The given number is - (-2)

When we multiply negative by negative, we get positive.

-(-) = +

Therefore, -(-2) = 2            [By applying the sign rule of multiplication]

2 is nothing but 2 units to the right from 0.

Hence the answer is A.  It is 2 units to the right of 0.

Hope you will understand the concept.

Thank you. :)

72 is the answer to this problem

answer: the price of one pound cabbage = $ 0.8

the point (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds cabbage is $ 8

step-by-step explanation:

since, here is a proportional relation between the number of pounds of cabbage (x) and the price in dollars (y).

therefore, we can write,

⇒ y = k x

where k is the constant of proportionality.

now, point (5,4) is in the line.

thus, it will satisfies the above equation of line.

⇒ 4 = 5 k

⇒ k = 0.8

thus, the equation of the line is,

y = 0.8 x

a) for x = 1,

y = 0.8

therefore, the cost of one pound of cabbage is 0.8 dollars.

b) in the below graph (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds of cabbage is 8 dollars.
