Answer:

- 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope - intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope (gradient) and c the t- intercept )

y = 3x - 8 ← is in slope- intercept form

with gradient m = 3 and y- intercept c = - 8 , thus

m + c = 3 + (- 8) = 3 - 8 = - 5

If a logarithm has a coefficient, then the coefficient can also be written as the exponent of the input of the logarithm. In other words, if you have the logarithm alog(x), that is equal to log(x^a). So the expression can be rewritten:

log(x^2)+log(y^3)

If tow logarithms of the same bases are added together that is equal to the logarithm of the product of the inputs of the two original logarithms. In other words, given log(x)+log(y), it can also be written as log(xy). So the expression can be combined into one logarithm:

log(x^2 * y^3)
