Question

The points (2,4) and (-2,-4) are plotted on a coordinate plane the equation is y = a * x what is A?

Answer 1

A equals to 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + c is the equation of the line and m is the slope and c is the y- intercept.

In the given equation, y = ax , a is the slope.

Slope A can be found by means of the formula, and using the points (2,4) and (-2-4)

slope, A = (y₂ -y₁) /  (x₂-x₁)

Plugin the values as,

A = (-4-4) / (-2-2) =  (-8) / (-4) = 2

So the value of A is 2.
