if |a-2|=6 and |b+4|=2 then b/a=?

• |a-2|=6 => a-2=6 or -(a-2)=6 => a=8,-4
  
  |b+4|=2 => b+4=2 or -(b+4)=2 => b=-2,-6
  
  for b/a to be minm, b should be minm and a should maxm
  a max=8 & b min=-6
  
  min(b/a)= -6/8 = -3/4

• in the question it was asked find the min value of b/a
  
  answer -3/4, not in the options therefore d)none of these
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(0)
• -(a-2)=6 -(b+4)=2
  => a= -4 =>b= -6
  now b/a => -6/-4 = 3/2
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(1)
• b=-2
  a=8
  
  -2/8=-1/4

• 1/2 or -1/4
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
• -1/4 or 3/2
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
• b/a is minimum when b is minimum and a is maximum
  so,
  (a-2)=6
  => a= 8
  -(b+4)=2
  =>b= -6
  now b/a => -6/8 = -3/4

• ans-> -1/4 and 2/3
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• |a-2|=6
  a=8,-4
  |b+4|=2
  b=2,-6
  min value of b/a =(-6/8)
