Answer:

a = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

(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)

Answer: a=3

Step-by-step 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.
