If (1,-1) is a point on the line 2x-(2a+5)y=5 then find the value of a

Step-by-step explanation:

Since ( 1 , -1) is a point on the line 2x-(2a+5)y=5 we can substitute it into the equation to find a

We have

2(1) - (-1)(2a + 5) = 5

Multiplying two negatives make a positive

That's

2 + 2a + 5 = 5

2a + 7 = 5

Group like terms

Send the constants to the right side of the equation

That's

2a = 5 - 7

2a = - 2

Divide both sides by 2

That's

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you
