Question

Write five pairs of integers (a, b) such that a ÷ b = -3. One such pair is (6, -2) because 6 + (-2) = -3.

Answer 1

Answer:

Here, a÷b=−3

⇒a=−3b

Putting some different values to b, we get corresponding values of a such as

(i) b=1, then

a=−3b=−3×1=−3

(−3,1)

(ii) b=3, then

a=−3×3=−9

(−9,3) is a pair.

(iii) b=4, then a=−3×4=−12

Pair is (−12,4)

(iv) b=5, then a=−3×5=−15

Pair is (−15,5)

(v) b=6, then a=−3×6=−18

Pair is (−18,6)
