Question

If the point (- 2,5) lies on the graph of the equation 5y = ax + 9, find the value of a.​

Answer 1

Answer:

here's your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

5y=ax+9

putting the value in the appropriate places gives us

5(5)=a(-2)+9

25=a(-2)+9

25-9=a(-2)

16=a(-2)

16/-2=a

-8=a

because dividing the positive by a negative gives us negative value always
