Answer:
-1
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the points be <u>(0, a)</u> and <u>(a, 0)</u> (As it mentions the intercepts are equal)
==============================================================
Applying slope formula :
⇒ m = 0 - a / a - 0
⇒ m = -a/a
⇒ <u>m = -1</u>
6.4 is the answer hope this helps
3.21 it should be at least
Originally we have
length = x
width = x-2
since the width is 2 inches smaller than the length
now let's triple each dimension. Multiply the expressions by 3 to get
new length = 3*x
new width = 3*(x-2) = 3x-6
Now onto the area
area = (length)*(width)
area = (3x)*(3x-6)
area = 3x*3x-3x*6
area = 9x^2 - 18x
So the new larger rectangle has area of 9x^2-18x
A is the correct answer because tangents do not have any chords
