Answer:
a = -1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
- 1/4a - 4 = 7/4a - 3
- 1/4a - 7/4a = - 3 + 4
- 8/4a = 1
- a = 1 / 8/4
- a = 1 * 4/8
- a = 4/8
- a = 1/2
a = - 1/2
<u> 8b - 7 = 7b - 2</u>
Subtract 7b from each side: b - 7 = -2
Add 7 to each side: <em> b = 5</em>
x first so five to the left so it's negative and if each gridline is .5 and were are 5 gridlines aver then .5*5 so -2.5 then y is up so positive and 3 lines so .5*3 so 1.5 so coordinate is (-2.5,1.5)
