m =  y1 - y2 / x1 x2

-3 = -2 - 7 / 6 - a

-3 = -9 / 6 - a

-3 (6 - a)=-9

-18 + 3a = -9

3a = - 9 + 18

a = 9 / 3

a = 3

Answer:

<h2>a = 3</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line given two points can be found by using the formula

m =  \frac{ y_2 - y _ 1}{x_ 2 - x_ 1}  \\

From the question the slope is - 3

To find the value of a we have

- 3 =  \frac{7 -  - 2}{a - 6}  \\  - 3 =  \frac{7 + 2}{a - 6}  \\  - 3(a - 6) = 9 \\  - 3a + 18 = 9 \\  - 3a = 9 - 18 \\  - 3a =  - 9

Divide both sides by - 3

\frac{ - 3a}{ - 3}  =  \frac{ - 9}{ - 3}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>a = 3</h3>

Hope this helps you

Which of the following is a solution of x2 + 2x + 4?
ivolga24 [154]
Strictly speaking, x^2 + 2x + 4 doesn't have solutions; if you want solutions, you must equate <span>x^2 + 2x + 4 to zero:

</span>x^2 + 2x + 4= 0.  "Completing the square" seems to be the easiest way to go here:

rewrite   x^2 + 2x + 4  as   x^2 + 2x + 1^2 - 1^2 = -4, or
                                              (x+1)^2 = -3
or                                            x+1 =i*(plus or minus sqrt(3))

or                                            x = -1 plus or minus i*sqrt(3)

This problem, like any other quadratic equation, has two roots.  Note that the fourth possible answer constitutes one part of the two part solution found above.

Can someone please help me on this question?
solniwko [45]

ANSWER:

According to question, our g(x) becomes f(x) - 5.

When x = 1,

f(x) - 5 = 5 - 5 = 0.

When x = 2,

f(x) - 5 = 7 - 5 = 2.

When x = 3,

f(x) - 5 = 11 - 5 = 6.

When x = 4,

f(x) - 5 = 19 - 5 = 14.

So, <u>Correct choice</u> - [D]
