Answer:

a = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation for a straight line is y = mx+c, where m is the gradient/ slope, so m = -5. The first thing we need to do is find c, which we do by plugging in the x and y values that we already know: y = 7 and x = -2

7 = -5*(-2) + c

7 = 10 + c

c = 7-10 = -3

Now, we have the general equation of y = -5x -3 and we can use this to find a.

We'll treat a as x and y will be equal to 2:

2 = -5a -3

5 = -5a (Divide both sides by 5)

-a = 1 (now by -1)

a = -1

The sum of two numbers is x. If one of the numbers is 12, what is the other ?
Vlad1618 [11]
If the sum of two numbers is x

Then the equation is like this:

a+b = x

Then it says one of the number is 12. Change either a or b into 12

12 + b =x

If we want to find the other number, we need the make it into the subject

b = x - 12

Hope that help.
