Answer:

a = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line in point-slope form is y + 2 = (1/2)(x - 4).

Replacing x with -4 yields y + 2 = (1/2)(-4 - 4) = (1/2)(-8)

Then y + 2 = -4, and so y = -6, or a = - 6.

Answer:

The Answer would be A= -6

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line in point-slope form is y + 2 = (1/2)(x - 4).

Replacing x with would be result in y + 2 = (1/2)(-4 - 4) = (1/2)(-8)

.Then y + 2 = -4, which would mean that y = -6, or a = - 6 would be the answer to this equation.

Hope this helps. :)

Check the picture below.

$\bf 0=AB^2+6AB-121\implies \stackrel{\textit{using the quadratic formula}}{AB=\cfrac{-6 \pm \sqrt{6^2-4(1)(-121)}}{2(1)}}
\\\\\\
AB=\cfrac{-6 \pm \sqrt{520}}{2}\implies AB=\cfrac{-6 \pm \sqrt{4\cdot 130}}{2}
\\\\\\
AB=\cfrac{-6 \pm \sqrt{2^2\cdot 130}}{2}\implies AB=\cfrac{-6 \pm 2\sqrt{130}}{2}
\\\\\\
AB=-3\pm\sqrt{130}\implies AB=
\begin{cases}
\boxed{-3+\sqrt{130}}\\\\
-3-\sqrt{130}
\end{cases}$

since the distance AB cannot be a negative value, thus is not -3-√(130).
