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
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)
