Answer:
y = -1x -4
Step-by-step explanation:
The point slope equation is y - y1 = m(x -x1).
You will have to plug in the points (-3, -1) and (2, -6).
y - (-1) = m (x - (-3))
To find "m", find y over x.
m = (y2 - y1) / ( x2 - x1)
m = (-6 + 1)/(2 + 3)
m = -5/5
m = -1
Then plug in "m"
y + 1 = -1(x + 3)
then distribute the "m" into the parenthesis and isolate y or subtract 1 from both sides.
y + 1 = -1x - 3
y = -1x -4
Number of faces: F=a+3
Number of vertices: V=2a
Number of edges: E=4a-1
V+F-E=2
Replacing V=2a; F=a+3; and E=4a-1 in the formula above:
(2a)+(a+3)-(4a-1)=2
Eliminating parentheses:
2a+a+3-4a+1=2
Adding similar terms:
(2+1-4)a+(3+1)=2
(-1)a+4=2
Solving for a. Subtracting 4 both sides of the equation:
(-1)a+4-4=2-4
(-1)a=-2
Dividing both sides by (-1)
(-1)a/(-1)=-2/(-1)
a=2
Answer: The value of a is: a=2
