Recall that the slope or gradient of a line segment through two points is the ratio of the change in the <em>y</em> coordinate to the change in the <em>x</em> coordinate.

If the gradient is 1, then

1 = (-3 - 4) / (<em>a</em> - 3<em>a</em>)

Solve for <em>a</em> :

1 = -7 / (-2<em>a</em>)

1 = 7/(2<em>a</em>)

2<em>a</em> = 7

<em>a</em> = 7/2

You start at (1,0) And move down 2 units and left 4 units where do you end
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

(-3,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting at the point (1, 0)

Now we move don 2 units (so the y-value reduces in two units) making now the point (1,0-2)  which is (1, -2)

then we move to the left 4 units (so the x-value has now to be decreased in 4 units) making the point: (1-4, -2) which is (-3, -2)
