The value a is 7.

<h3>What is Straight Line?</h3>

A line is simply an object in geometry that is characterized under zero width object that extends on both sides. A straight line is just a line with no curves.

Here, the given equation of line

      y = ax -3

line passing through point (2, 11), then

    11 = a X 2 - 3

    11 + 3 = 2a

     2a = 14

      a = 7

Thus, the value a is 7.

PLEASE HELP NOW!<br> (-2, -4) and (-3, -3) in a linear equation
chubhunter [2.5K]

The linear equation is y = -x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

To form a linear equation from two points lie on the line which the equation represented it

  • Find the slope of the line by using the formula m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}
  • Then use the slope-intercept form of the equation y = m x + b
  • To find the value of b substitute x and y of the equation by the coordinates of one of the two given points

∵  Points (-2 , -4) and (-3 , -3) lie on the line

∴ x_{1} = -2 and x_{2} = -3

∴ y_{1} = -4 and y_{2} = -3

- Substitute these values in the formula of the slope

∵ m=\frac{-3-(-4)}{-3-(-2)}=\frac{-3+4}{-3+2}=\frac{1}{-1}

∴ m = -1

∵ The form of the equation is y = m x + b

∵ m = -1

∴ y = (-1) x + b

∴ y = -x + b

To find b substitute x and y in the equation by the coordinates of

point (-2 , -4) OR (-3 , -3)

∵ x = -3 and y = -3

∴ -3 = -(-3) + b

∴ -3 = 3 + b

- Subtract 3 from both sides

∴ -6 = b

∴ The equation is y = -x + (-6)

∴ y = -x - 6

The linear equation is y = -x - 6

If Tom brushes his teeth 1/12 hour a day. how many minutes does Tom brush his teeth in 2 weeks? What units of time do you need t
lilavasa [31]
1/12 hour = 5 minutes, 2 weeks is 14 days, so 5*15 = the amount of time he brushes his teeth so you would need to change from hours to minutes
