Answer:

The value of a is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to make an equation based on the point and slope that you were given. The formula for this is y-(y cordinate of point)=slope(x-x cordinate of slope)

y--2=-3(x-6), which simplifies to y+2=-3(x-6)

In (a,7), 7 is the y coordinate. We have to plug 7 in for the y in our equation.

7+2=-3(x-6),

Combine like terms on the left side to get to 9=-3(x-6)

Multiply out on the left to get 9=-3x+18

Subtract 18 from the left side to get -9=-3x

Divide both sides by negative 3 to get 3=x (remember x is a)

Help!! whats the answer? and how do I solve!! :(
Sever21 [200]
I think the answer is 20.25 because when solving for the area of a triangle you do 1/2 base times height and so the equation would be
1/2(9)(4.5)
you would start by doing 9(4.5) which equals 40.5
then you would divide by 1/2 which equals 20.25
hope this helps:)

A family drove a total of 5,300 miles.They drove 10 more miles in tj second half of the trip than the first half. How many did t
AVprozaik [17]

If they drove a total of 5,300 miles in 2 days, and on the second day they drove 10 more miles then the 1st day.

5,300 ÷ 2 = 2,650

they drove 10 miles less on the first day

2,650 - 10 = 2,640

They drove 2,640 miles on the first day.

Hope this helps. :)
