<span>Difference of squares method is a method that is used to evaluate the difference between two perfect squares.
For example, given an algebraic expression in the form:
can be factored as follows:

From the given expressions, the only expression containing two perfect squares with the minus sign in the middle is the expression in option A.
i.e.

which can be factored as follows:

Get the equation of the line containing PQ using the point-slope formula:
<em>y</em> - (-2) = 3/2 (<em>x</em> - (-6))
Solve for <em>y</em> to get it in slope-intercept form:
<em>y</em> = 3/2 <em>x</em> + 7
so the <em>y</em>-intercept is (0, 7).
The line containing QR is then
<em>y</em> - 7 = -3/4 (<em>x</em> - 0)
or
<em>y</em> = -3/4 <em>x</em> + 7
The point R is on the <em>x</em>-axis, so its <em>y</em>-coordinate is 0. Plug in <em>y</em> = 0 and solve for <em>x</em> to get the other coordinate:
0 = -3/4 <em>x</em> + 7
3/4 <em>x</em> = 7
<em>x</em> = 4/3×7 = 28/3
So the point R has coordinates (28/3, 0).
1.) r=-1/3
2.) x=-33/29
3.) x=-4/5 x=2/5
