Answer:

d. 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of lengths to the near and far intersection points is the same for both secants:

PB×PA = PD×PC

We can use this relation to solve for x, then use the value of x to find PD.

7×12 = (3x)(7x)

4 = x² . . . . . . . . . divide by 21

2 = x . . . . . . . . . . take the square root

PD = 3x = 3·2

PD = 6

kirill [66]

Answer:

$m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} \\ = \frac{ - 3 - 5y}{6 - (x + 2)} \\ = \frac{ - 3 - 5y}{6 - x - 2} \\ m = \frac{ - 3 - 5y}{4 - x}$
