Answer:
Option D. 8 units
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Find the area of rectangle
The area of rectangle is

step 2
Find the length side of the square with the same area of rectangle
The area of a square is

where
b is the length side of the square
we have

substitute

take the square root both sides

therefore
The length side of the square is 8 units
Collect like terms and you'll get -2 - 3(a - b)
Is there any answer choices? I believe it is 2/5
Answer:
-4
Step-by-step explanation:
The line has a "rise" between the two points of -4 units for a "run" of +1 unit. The slope is the ratio ...
m = rise/run = -4/1 = -4.
The slope is -4.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
A "whole number" must be non-negative. Here, the slope is negative. If you're restricted to "a fraction or a whole number", then the appropriate answer is the fraction -4/1. We suspect that "integer" is meant where "whole number" is used.
If you have a fraction, take one number and put a different number on top or underneath, for example if you have 2 cats and 3 dogs, the ratio from cats to dogs would be 2:3 but if you did 2 cats to the total number of animals, you would add 2 and 3 and get 5, so the ratio would be 2:5.
