Graph a line goes through the point (6,–2) and has a slope of –3. what is the value of a if the point (a,7) lies on the line?

The value of a is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to make an equation based on the point and slope that you were given. The formula for this is y-(y cordinate of point)=slope(x-x cordinate of slope)

y--2=-3(x-6), which simplifies to y+2=-3(x-6)

In (a,7), 7 is the y coordinate. We have to plug 7 in for the y in our equation.

7+2=-3(x-6),

Combine like terms on the left side to get to 9=-3(x-6)

Multiply out on the left to get 9=-3x+18

Subtract 18 from the left side to get -9=-3x

Divide both sides by negative 3 to get 3=x (remember x is a)

after simplifying it i got: -36.25 as my answer. hope that !

answer: the price of one pound cabbage = $ 0.8

the point (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds cabbage is $ 8

step-by-step explanation:

since, here is a proportional relation between the number of pounds of cabbage (x) and the price in dollars (y).

therefore, we can write,

⇒ y = k x

where k is the constant of proportionality.

now, point (5,4) is in the line.

thus, it will satisfies the above equation of line.

⇒ 4 = 5 k

⇒ k = 0.8

thus, the equation of the line is,

y = 0.8 x

a) for x = 1,

y = 0.8

therefore, the cost of one pound of cabbage is 0.8 dollars.

b) in the below graph (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds of cabbage is 8 dollars.
