Answer: a=3
Explanation:
We are given a point and an equation. To see what "a" is, we can plug in the coordinate into the equation and solve for x.
4a-3(-1)=15 [multiply]
4a+3=15 [subtract both sides by 3]
4a=12 [divide both sides by 4]
a=3
Now, we know that a=3.
Answer:
a = 3
(a, -1) is (x, y)
Plug in the value of y into the given equation to solve for a (x):
4x - 3(-1) = 15
4x + 3 = 15
4x = 12
x = 3
(x, y) is (a, -1) so (a, -1) = (3, -1)
