Look at intersecting points of line on x- and y-axis.
The points would be: (8,0) & (0,4)
formula of slope = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
(4-0)/(0-8) = -4/8 = -1/2.
See the attached picture.
The negative sign in front of the 2 makes the graph an upside down U shape.
I solved the second equation and it’s zero, I’m not really sure how to help with the top on tho. I am really sorry :/
Answer: 4 (OPTION 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
1. To solve this problem you must apply the Intersecting secants theorem, as you can see below:

Where:


2. Then you must susbstitute values and solve for x, as following:

Therefore the answer is the second option.
