Find the intercepts of $3x - 2y = 0$:

x-intercept (set $y = 0$): $3x = 0 \Rightarrow x = 0$.

y-intercept (set $x = 0$): $-2y = 0 \Rightarrow y = 0$.

Both intercepts are $0$ (the line passes through the origin).

Quantity A $= 0 =$ Quantity B. The two quantities are equal.

Persistent Occiput Posterior (POP) position is a common cause of prolonged second stage and arrest of descent. In OP position:

• The fetal head presents with a larger diameter to the pelvis: occipito-frontal diameter \(\approx 11.5\,\text{cm}\) vs. sub-occipito-bregmatic \(9.5\,\text{cm}\) in OA
• Internal rotation from OP to OA requires \(135°\) rotation (vs. \(90°\) from OT, \(45°\) from OA)
• Causes: anthropoid/android pelvis, deflexed head

Management options:

• Manual rotation to OA (Barton's maneuver)
• Expectant management if maternal/fetal condition good
• Instrumental delivery: forceps (Kielland's rotational forceps) or rotational vacuum
• Cesarean section if rotation fails or fetal distress

CPD is less likely in a multigravida who delivered previously without CPD. Hypotonic labor would show weak contractions on partograph/CTG.

The expression $\dfrac{x}{|x|}$ is the sign function of $x$:

• If $x > 0$: $\dfrac{x}{|x|} = \dfrac{x}{x} = 1$ → equal to Column B
• If $x < 0$: $\dfrac{x}{|x|} = \dfrac{x}{-x} = -1$ → less than Column B

Since $x$ can be positive or negative, and we get different results, the relationship cannot be determined from the information given.
