13. the equation of line l is given as y = 0.6x – 4.
if the slope is equal to a, y-intercept is equal
to b and x-intercept is equal to c, what is the
value of a + b + 3c?

16.6

Step-by-step explanation:

a = slope = 0.6

b = y-intercept = -4

c = x intercept = 20/3. (Set y=0 and solve for x)

So, a+b+3c = 0.6 - 4 + 3*20/3 = 16.6

secant-secant formula:

(whole secant) x (external part) =           (whole secant) x (external part)

(8+y-2) *8=                                           (y+4+6) *6

(y+6)*8 = (y+10) *6

distribute

8y+48 = 6y +60

subtract 6y from each side

2y +48 = 60

subtract 48 from each side

2y = 12

divide by 2

y = 6

sv =     (y+4+6)

sv   = 6+4+6

sv = 16
