Answer:
35/8 or 4.375 in decimal form
Ok, I'm only in 8th grade but I believe you do addition first in the problem. Hope this helps! <3
Answer:
The value of a is 3
Step-by-step explanation:
First you have to make an equation based on the point and slope that you were given. The formula for this is y-(y cordinate of point)=slope(x-x cordinate of slope)
y--2=-3(x-6), which simplifies to y+2=-3(x-6)
In (a,7), 7 is the y coordinate. We have to plug 7 in for the y in our equation.
7+2=-3(x-6),
Combine like terms on the left side to get to 9=-3(x-6)
Multiply out on the left to get 9=-3x+18
Subtract 18 from the left side to get -9=-3x
Divide both sides by negative 3 to get 3=x (remember x is a)
Idk what is the answers so i see if i got then right
