Answer:

a=3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you replace the variables x and y in the equation with their respectful values, making the equation 5a-2(7)=1.

Then, you simplify the -2(7), which equals 14, making the equation 5a-14=1.

Then, you add 14 from both sides, making the equation 5a=15.

Finally, you divide both sides by 5, making the answer a=3.

First, find the slope of the line using the formula for slope:

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

m = (4 - (-2)) / (-3 - 2) = -6/5

Then, use the point-slope formula using a point that you were given and the slope that you calculated.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 4 = (-6/5)(x + 3)

Then, simply get y alone.

y = (-6/5)x + 2/5
