Question

a line has points located at (-3,5) and (4,a). What is value of a if the slope is -2? Solve this question graphically.

Answer 1

Usually we're given two points on a line and are asked to find the slope of the line using the slope formula:\[m=\frac{ y _{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2}-x _{1}}\]

Answer 2

But in YOUR math problem, the slope is given (it's -2), and you are to find the value of a.

Please use this equation and the given info to find the value of a. Please show your work.
