The answer is 24. To get from one term to the next, you have to find the difference. To get from 52 to 45, you minus 7. It is the same with the other terms. So 31 - 7 = 24

A line passes through the points (–1, –5) and (4, 5). The point (a, 1) is also on the line.

IgorC [24]

Answer:

a = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the equation of the line using the 2 points given.

Let's call -1 as x_1 and -5 as y_1

also, 4 as x_2 and 5 as y_2

The equation of line is :

$y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)$

<em>Let's plug the points and get the equation of the line:</em>

$y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)\\y+5=\frac{5+5}{4+1}(x+1)\\y+5=2(x+1)\\y+5=2x+2\\y=2x-3$

Now, to find a, we substitute a in x and 1 in y of the equation of the line we just got:

$y=2x-3\\1=2(a)-3\\1=2a-3\\2a=4\\a=\frac{4}{2}=2$
