Answer:
a=14
Step-by-step explanation:
-a+28=14
So -a=-14
so a=14
I got 6 and -7 when I did this problem, maybe you made a mistake or maybe I did. But you are on the right track
Linear because the x are not repeating
AN EXAMPLE OF NON LINEAR”0,1,2,2,” AN EXAMPLE OF LINEAR”0,1,2,3” the non linear the x repeat so the answer is linear
You need to convert the second equation to slope/intercept form. The first equation is in that form already. Then you can compare slopes.
-6x + 8y = 14
8y = 6x + 14
y = (3/4)x + 14/8
SO THE SLOPE IS 3/4 which is the same as slope of equation 1
Therfore they are parallel.
I think this is the graph for your answer, for the next question like this, try to use "Desmos"
