The measure of EF from the given diagram is 6 units

<h3>Secant secant theorem</h3>

The theorem states that if two secants are drawn from an external point to a circle, then the product of the measures of one secant's external parts is the same as the product of the other external part.

Mathematically according to the given figure;

4(4+2x) = 5(5+x)

Expand

16 + 8x = 25 + 5x

Collect the like terms

8x - 5x = 25 - 16

3x = 9

Divide both sides by 3

3x/3=. 9/3

x = 3

Find EF

EF = 2x

EF = 2(3) = 6

Hence the measure of EF from the given diagram is 6 units

Write an equation of the line that passes through the point (3,0) and<br> has the slope, m = -2.

kenny6666 [7]

The equation of a line is Y=mx+b
You know that the slope is -2 and the slope is 'm' so sub it into the equation.
Y=-2x+b
To have an equation of a line you need the 'b' or 'y' intercept and the slope.
This means you have to find the 'b' because you already know the slope which is -2. To find the 'b' you have to sub in the coordinates and then solve for 'b'
Y=-2x+b
(x,y)
(3,0)
0=-2(3)+b
0=-6+b
6=b
Therefore the equation of the line is Y=-2x+6 <span />
