Answer:


\boxed{\sf \ \ \ a=-2, \ b = 1 \ \ \ }

Explanation:

Hello,

saying that the function is continuous means that you cannot have a "jump" in the graph of the function

so we want

a*(-3)+b=7 and a*4+b=-7

it comes

(1) -3a + b = 7

(2) 4a + b = -7

(2)-(1) gives 4a + b + 3a - b =7a = -7-7 = -14

so a = -14/7 = -2

we replace in (1)

b = 7 + 3*(-2) = 7 - 6 = 1

hope this helps
