If the line passing through the points (a, 1) and (−2, 6) is parallel to the line passing through the points (−12, 9) and (a + 2

, 1), what is the value of a?

1 answer:

8 0

$\frac{6 - 1}{ - 2 - a} = \frac{9 - 1}{ - 12 - a - 2} \\ \frac{5}{ - 2 - a} = \frac{8}{ - 14 - a} \\ 16 + 8a = 70 + 5a \\ 3a = 54 > > a = 18$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Yesterday, Priya successfully made 6 free throws.

Today, she made 75% as many as yesterday.

We are asked to calculate the number of successful free throws that Priya made today.

So, the number will be $6 (1 + \frac{75}{100} ) = 10.5$ .

Since it is the number of successful free throws, so it will be 10 throws. ( Answer )
