Example Question - division of ordered pairs

Mathematical Expression: Division of Ordered Pairs

The image shows a mathematical expression involving the division of ordered pairs: ( (2, -4) / (-1, -2) ) To divide two ordered pairs, you simply divide their corresponding components: Let the ordered pairs be (a, b) and (c, d). (a, b) / (c, d) = (a/c, b/d) So applying this method to the specific ordered pairs in the question: (2, -4) / (-1, -2) = (2/(-1), -4/(-2)) = (-2, 2) So the result of the division of these two ordered pairs is the ordered pair (-2, 2).
