I would go with -33 cause if you replace the t with -33 you would have to solve the problem and it would be 7 so -33 is the answer.
Yes it is a rational number

Explanation:
When the points are plotted on a graph, it is easy to see that the slope of AC is -2 and the slope of BC is 1/2. These slope values have a product of -1, so the corresponding line segments are perpendicular to each other.
___
If you have studied vectors, you can find the dot product of AC with BC:
AC = (-5, 3) -(-2, -3) = (-3, 6)
BC = (6, 1) -(-2, -3) = (8, 4)
The dot product is ...
(-3, 6)·(8, 4) = (-3)(8) + (6)(4) = -24+24 = 0
When the dot product of vectors is zero, they are perpendicular.
