Answer:

a = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The given equation is:</em></u>

=> 5x+y = 8

Also,

Point = (x,y) = (a,3)

So, x = a , y = 3

<u><em>Putting this in the above equation</em></u>

=> 5(a)+3 = 8

=> 5a = 8-3

=> 5a = 5

<em>Dividing both sides by 5</em>

=> a = 1

Darya [45]

Step-by-step explanation: You have to substitute the numbers in for x & y

(0, -5): YES

3x - 4y - 8 = 12

3(0) - 4(-5) - 8 = 12

0 + 20 - 8 = 12

20 - 8 = 12

12 = 12


(4, -2): YES

3x - 4y - 8 = 12

3(4) - 4(-2) - 8 = 12

12 + 8 - 8 = 12

20 - 8 = 12

12 = 12


(8, 2): NO

3x - 4y - 8 = 12

3(8) - 4(2) = 12

24 - 8 = 12

16 = 12


(-16, -17): YES

3x - 4y - 8 = 12

3(-16) - 4(-17) - 8 = 12

-48 + 68 - 8 = 12

20 - 8 = 12

12 = 12


(-1, -8): NO

3x - 4y - 8 = 12

3(-1) - 4(-8) = 12

-3 + 32 = 12

29 = 12


(-40, -34): NO

3x - 4y - 8 = 12

3(-40) - 4(-34) - 8 = 12

-120 + 136 - 8 = 12

16 - 8 = 12

8 = 12


Hope this help you!!! :)

What is the equation for this line ?
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

y = -\frac{1}{3}x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

Let's start with where the line crosses the y axis.  We can see it crosses at 5.

So b = 5.

Let's try another point to figure out m, (3,4).

4 = 3m + 5

3m = -1

m = -\frac{1}{3}
