-6x + 7 = 8x + A
let x = -4
-6(-4) + 7 = 8(-4) + A
24 + 7 = -32 + A
31 + 32 = -32 + 32 + A
63 = 0 + A
A = 63

Answer:
but where is the diagram
Step-by-step explanation:
????????
Step-by-step explanation:
since it is in the same line as DE, both have the same slope.
the slope is the ratio of "y coordinate change / x coordinate change" when going from one point on the line to another.
and so by using the coordinates of D and E
x changes by +4 (from 8 to 12).
y changes by -8 (from 32 to 24).
the slope is therefore
-8/+4 = -2
