Step-by-step explanation:
The distance formula is given by:

We want to find the distance between (a,b) and (x,y).
The center of the habitat is missing in the question.
Assuming the center is (a,b) where a and b are real numbers, then we can use the distance formula to obtain:

For instance if the center of your habitat us (2,-1), then

Multiply the numbers on the major axis which are 2 and -9 to get -18. Subtract from that 3*4 = 12. So -18-12 = -30. That's the determinant.
Answer: -3

Answer:
b<-7
Step-by-step explanation:
3b+3<-18
subtract 3 on both sides
3b<-21
