Answer: a = 3
Step-by-step explanation: since M is in between the two points you can look at the x and y coordinates respectively and find the difference between the the given points and then add it to the midpoint
Answer: y = 6x - 4
Step-by-step explanation: -4 is the y-intercept and y=6 is parallel so it doesn't change.
You could distribute this expression to get and even MORE simplified expression. Add the two terms in the parentheses together so that you get 4(7x). Now you can simply multiply 4 by 7x which would equal 28x. The new expression is 28x.
X = 4 y = 3 4x-3y=7 x=13-3y
4(13-3y) -3y =7
52 -12y -3y =7
-15y=-45
-y=-3 y = 3
x=13-(3*3)
x=13-9
x =4
