Question

if a is the x-intercept, b is the y-intercept, and m is the slope of the line with equation x/4 + y/12 = 1, then what is the value of a + b + m PLZ ANSWER ASAP

Answer 1

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

Equations on lines written in formof x/a + y/b = 1 represent a as x-intercept and b as y-intercept.

So, here,

a = 4, and b = 12.

Since intercepts are given we can say that line touches x-axis at (4,0) and y axis at (0,12)

So, slope = (12-0)/(0-4) = - 3

Thus, slope = m = - 3

Hence,

a + b + m = 4 + 12 - 3 = 13
