Aline passes through the point (–2, 7) and has a slope of –5. what is the value of a if the point (a, 2) is also on the line? –7 –1 1 7

the equation of the lin is

y - 7 = -5(x + 2)

When x = a and y = 2 we have:-

2 - 7 = -5(a + 2)

-5 = -5(a+ 2)

a + 2 = 1

a = -1 answer

15

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the following expression and we are to solve it and find the product:

-13 × (-5)

solving the given expression in the standard order of solving a mathematical expression, beginning with the opening of brackets and then multiplying the terms and changing their signs.

-3 × -5 = 15 (answer is positive because when negative is multiplied with negative, it gives a positive answer)
