After a reflection across line y=x the vertices of triangle P’Q’R’ are as follows
P’= (-1,-7)
Q’= (-8-7)
R’= (-3,3)
12^2=144
144 is divided by b which also is an odd interger, there only 2 numbers : 1 and 3
if b=3, a^2=48, then there will be no a available
if b=1 , a^2=144, then a is 12 and 12 can not be divided by 9
The answer is D
From 9 P.M. to 5 A.M. the temperature dropped 20°, making the rate over 8 hours, -2.5° Per Hour. By 5 A.M., the temperature is -5° since we had to do 15 - 20. From 5 AM to 5 P.M. is 12 hours so -2.5 x 12 = -30 making 30 how much the temperature dropped between 5 A.M. to 5 P.M. Finally, our last equation is -5 - 30 making -35 our answer.
