"Use technology to find points and graph the line 5a = —2y — 2, following the instructions below."

This seems to be a request to graph the line from the equation $5a = -2y - 2$. Let me proceed with solving for $y$ in terms of $a$ and then graph the line for you.

To start, let's rearrange the equation:

$5a = -2y - 2$

Solving for $y$:

$-2y = 5a + 2$ $y = -\frac{5}{2}a - 1$

This is now in slope-intercept form $y = mx + b$, where $m = -\frac{5}{2}$ is the slope and $b = -1$ is the y-intercept.

Let me now proceed to graph this line. numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

Create an array of a (x) values

a_values = np.linspace(-10, 10, 100)

Calculate corresponding y values using the equation y = -(5/2)*a - 1

y_values = -5/2 * a_values - 1

Plot the graph

plt.figure(figsize=(8, 6)) plt.plot(a_values, y_values, label=r'$y = -\frac{5}{2}a - 1$', color='blue')

Labels and title

plt.title("Graph of the line $y = -\frac{5}{2}a - 1$") plt.xlabel("a") plt.ylabel("y") plt.axhline(0, color='black',linewidth=1) plt.axvline(0, color='black',linewidth=1)

Add grid and legend

plt.grid(True) plt.legend()

Show the plot

plt.show()Here is the graph of the line $y = -\frac{5}{2}a - 1$, based on the equation you provided. This line has a slope of $-\frac{5}{2}$ and a y-intercept of $-1$.

Would you like more details or further assistance with this problem?

Here are some related questions you might find interesting:

1. How can we find the x-intercept of this line?
2. What is the meaning of the slope in this context?
3. How would the graph change if we adjusted the slope to a positive value?
4. How can we find additional points on the line using a table of values?
5. How can we determine the equation of a line given two points?

Tip: To graph a linear equation, choose different values for $a$ (the independent variable), compute the corresponding values of $y$, and plot the points on the coordinate plane.
