SOLUTION: Find the value of "a" if a line containing the point (a,-3a) has a y-intercept of 7 and a slope of -2/3.
I used the slope formula to set it up:
-2/3=(-3a-7)/a
but got stu

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the value of "a" if a line containing the point (a,-3a) has a y-intercept of 7 and a slope of -2/3.
----------------------
y = (-2/3)x + 7
---
-3a = (-2/3)a + 7
-9a = -2a + 21
7a = -21
a = -3
