8a - 4 = 25 + 6 (a - 8)
(distribute the 6)
8a - 4 = 25 + 6a - 48
(combine like terms 25 - 48)
8a - 4 = 6a - 23
( subtract 6a from both sides)
2a - 4 = -23
(add 4 to both sides)
2a = -19
(divide both sides by 2)
a = - 9.5
////CHECK/////
8 (-9.5) - 4 = 25 + 6 ( -9.5 -8)
(plug each side into a calculator)
-80 = -80
FINAL ANSWER:
a = -9.5
<span>Solving for the slope using points ( (−4, 15), (0, 5)</span>
M = ( 15 – 5) / ( -4 – 0) = -5 / 2
Solving for b
<span>
Y = mx + b</span>
5 = 0(-5/2) + b
B = 5
So the linear function is
<span>Y = (-5/2) x + 5</span>
Answer:
I need points wiyyyyyrtyrrytryr
Substitute the variable terms with the coordinates and the equation is
3=1/3(5)+b
solve for b
