We can use the points (2, -2) and (4, -1) to solve.
Slope formula: y2-y1/x2-x1
= -1-2/4-(-2)
= -3/6
= -1/2
Point slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 2 = -1/2(x + 2)
Solve for y-intercept.
-2 = -1/2(2) + b
-2 = -1 + b
-2 + 1 = -1 + 1 + b
-1 = b
Slope Intercept Form: y = mx + b
y = -1/2x - 1

Your answer is B. 2
This is because to rationalise the denominator, we need to multiply it by (3 - √7), so we get:
(3 + √7)(3 - √7)
3 × 3 = 9
3 × √7 = 3√7
3 × -√7 = -3√7
√7 × -√7 = -7
So all in all you get 9 - 7 which is 2.
I hope this helps!
I'm going to use the slope formula which is
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the two points the line goes through
Slope of line PQ
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (-6 - 8)/(-5 - (-7))
m = (-6 - 8)/(-5 + 7)
m = (-14)/(2)
m = -7
The slope of line PQ is -7
Slope of RS
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (0 - (-5))/(-2 - 3)
m = (0 + 5)/(-2 - 3)
m = (5)/(-5)
m = -1
The slope of line RS is -1
Because the slopes are NOT equal (one is -7 and the other is -1), this means the lines are NOT parallel.
