Question

Verrify x/ynot equal to y/x by taking x=-6/3 and y=6/3

Answer 1

x = 6/3

y = 6/3

Since x and y are equal, x/y = y/x = 1

Hence, something is wrong in the question.

Answer 2

to prove x/y not equal to y/x

given x = -6/3

and y = 6/3

therefore x/y = (-6/3) / (6/3)

= (-6/3) * (3/6)

= -6*3/ 3*6

= -9/9

= -1

whereas y/x = (6/3) / (-6/3)

= (6/3) * (3/-6)

= 6*3 / 3*-6

= 9/-9

= -1

here x/y = y/x

hence the statement is wrong.

hope this helped.
