Find the value of “a”

The correct answer is a = 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we must remember the formula for slope, which is:

slope = m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Now, we can plug in the values that we are given into the slope formula:

-3/2 = (-3-6)/(a-2)

Now, we should begin to simplify the equation.

-3(a-2) = 2(-9)

We can use the distributive property to eliminate the parentheses on each side of the equation:

-3a + 6 = -18

Then, we can subtract 6 from both sides of the equation to get the variable term alone on the left side of the equation:

-3a = -24

Finally, we should divide both sides by -3 to completely isolate the variable on the left side of the equation:

a = 8

Therefore, the correct answer is a= 8.

Hope this helps!
