Question

Given point (-3,2) is on the line ax – 2y = 5, find the value of a.​PLS help me tq very much

Answer 1

Explanation:

-3x-2•2=5

-3x=5+4

-3x=9

X=9:(-3)

X=-3

Answer 2

a = - 3

Explanation:

Since the point (- 3, 2) is on the line then its coordinates make the equation true.

Substitute x = - 3, y = 2 into the equation and solve for a

a(- 3) - 2(2) = 5, that is

- 3a - 4 = 5 ( add 4 to both sides )

- 3a = 9 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

a = - 3
