Please tell me the answer to this, thanks

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

The equation is: 2x + 3y -12=0 (i)

From the given equation;

Slope (m) = (-coeff.of X)/(coeff.of y)

m = -2/3

Now; Let the missing component be "a".

The equation also can be written in;

The equation also can be written in;(y-8) = -2/3(x-a) (using one point formula)

3y - 24 = -2x + 2a

2x +3y -2a -24 = 0………(ii)

Since both equation are made from same coordinates, equating equation (i) and (ii).

2x + 3y -12= 2x +3y -2a -24

Cancel like terms,

-2a - 24 = -12

or, -2a = 12

or, a = -6.

Therefore, the missing value is -6.

Check:

Putting the value "a" in equation (ii).

2x + 3y -2(-6) -24 = 0

or, 2x+3y -12 = 0 (which is equal to equation (i).

Hope it helps!
