Answer:

a = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2x + 1 ......(1)

Going through y - y1 = m(x - x1)

m is slope and it is 2

y1 = 9 and x1 = a

y - 9 = 2(x - a)

y - 9 = 2x - 2a

y = 2x - 2a + 9 ........(2)

Equating (1) and (2)

2x + 1 = 2x - 2a + 9

Collecting like terms

2x - 2x + 2a = 9 - 1

2a = 8

a = 8/2

a = 4

Solve the equation for a.

katrin [286]

Answer:

$a= \frac{k}{9b+4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, you would solve for "a".

Solve:

K = 4a + 9ab

Since we have our "a" on the same side, we can factor it out from the variables:

K = a(9b + 4)

To get "a" by itself, we would have to divide both sides by 9b + 4:

K/9b+ 4 = a

Your answer would be K/9b+ 4 = a

It would look like this: $a= \frac{k}{9b+4}$
