Help me with this please I have no idea what to do. It says solve for a if the line through the two given points has the given slope a, 3) and (-3, - 1), m = -2

a=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

When you do this every time the slope will go down 2 and over 1 which is rise over run or slope. You can see the y coordinates go down 4 points and every time is should go down 2 so you will know that it would have gone down 2 times so a+2 should equal -3 so if we subtract 2 from both sides we would get a=-5 and that is our answer.

a = - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula and equate to - 2

m =

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, - 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (a, 3)

m = = = - 2 ( multiply both sides by a + 3 )

- 2(a + 3) = 4 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

a + 3 = - 2 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

a = - 5

step-by-step explanation:

total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is $98

step-by-step explanation:

given a united states citizen returning to the states declares the following items at the customs office: 3 shirts at $8.50 each 2 dresses at $27.50 each 1 pair of gold cuff links at $17.50 per pair. we have to find how much he pay

cost of 3 shirts if one cost at $8.50 is

cost of 2 dresses if one cost at $27.50 is  

cost of 1 pair of gold cuff at $17.50

so, total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is   $25.5+$55+$17.50=$98
