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

The first three terms of a sequence are given. Round to the nearest thousandth (if
tangare [24]

The 7th term of the sequence to the nearest thousandth is 223.949

<h3>What are geometric sequences?</h3>

These are sequence that increases in an exponential form.

The formula for calculating the nth term of a geometric sequence is expressed as:

Tn = ar^n-1

Given the following parameters

a = 75

r = 1.2

n = 7

Substitute the given parameter into the formula

T7 = 75(1.2)^6
T7 = 223.949

Hence the 7th term of the sequence to the nearest thousandth is 223.949

Answer:

x=58

FDE=61

Step-by-step explanation:

Since FDA and ADC are supplementary angles, their angle measures add up to 180 degrees. You can therefore write down the following equation:

2x+3+x+3=180

3x=174

x=58 degrees

FDE=ADC= x+3=61 degrees. Hope this helps!
