Answer:

a = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

4x - 3(x + a) = 2

x  = 5

Required

Determine the value of a

4x - 3(x + a) = 2

Substitute 5 for x

4(5) - 3(5 + a) = 2

Open all brackets

20 - 15 - 3a = 2

5 - 3a = 2

Collect Like Terms

-3a = 2 - 5

-3a = -3

Solve for a

a = -3/-3

a = 1

HELP PLS GIVING BRAINLIEST

For this case we have by definition, that the equation of a line in the slope-intersection form is given by:

y = mx+b

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cutoff point with the y axis

We need two points through which the line passes to find the slope:

(0,1)\\(1, -2)

We found the slope:

m = \frac {y2-y1} {x2-x1}\\m = \frac {-2-1} {1-0} = \frac {-3} {1} = - 3

So, the equation is of the form:

y = -3x + b

We substitute a point to find "b":

1 = -3 (0) + b\\1 = b

Finally, the equation is:

y = -3x+1

Option C

- What is the equation of a cirde with a center
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

<h2>C.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The equationof a circle:

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2

<em>(h, k)</em><em> - center</em>

<em>r</em><em> - radius</em>

<em />

We have <em>center = (4, -1) → h = 4, k = -1</em>, and <em>r = 9</em>.

Substitute:

(x-4)^2+(y-(-1))^2=9^2\\\\\huge\boxed{(x-4)^2+(y+1)^2=81}
