If a and b are both integers and b does not equal 0, then -(a/b) = (-a)/b = a/(-b) Choose two values for a and b. see if those values make the equation true

a=4 , b=3 These values make the equation true .

Explanation:

Here we have , If a and b are both integers and b does not equal 0, then -(a/b) = (-a)/b = a/(-b) Choose two values for a and b. We need to find if those values make the equation true . Let's find out:

We have the following equation:

-(a/b) = (-a)/b = a/(-b) , Let a=4 , b=3 , So


-(a/b) = (-a)/b = a/(-b)


-(a)/(b) = (-a)/(b) = (a)/(-b)


-(4)/(3) = (-4)/(3) = (4)/(-3)


-(4(-1))/(3) = (-4(-1))/(3) = (4(-1))/(-3) { Multiplying by -1 }


(4)/(3) = (4)/(3) = (4)/(3)

Therefore , These values make the equation true .
