You can find the answer by doing 4048 / 23 which is 176.
The intersecting chords theorem states that whenever two chords intersect, the product of their pieces is constant.
So, in this case, we have

Plugging your values, we have

This equation has solutions
, but we can't choose
, because it would lead to

So, the only feasible solutions is 
Answer:
y=-5/2x-1
Step-by-step explanation:
first find the gradient whereas since the two lines are parallel they hav the same gradient. y=mx+c whereas m is the gradient. 5x+2y=12
2y=-5x+12
y=-5/2x+12(so the gradient is -5/2x..... <u>g</u><u>r</u><u>a</u><u>d</u><u>i</u><u>e</u><u>n</u><u>t</u><u>=</u><u>-</u><u>5</u><u>/</u><u>2</u>
<u>y</u><u>-</u><u>4</u>=-5/2
x+2
y-4=-5/2(x+2)
y-4=-5/2x-5
y=-5/2x-5+4
y=-5/2x-1
