A is a constant such that the graph of the equation Ax-3y=6 passes through the point (1,-3). Find A.

We plug in the given point into the equation Ax-3y=6.

 

We then have:

 

A(1)-3(-3)=6

A+9=6

A=-3

        Ax - 3y  =  6     and     x = -1     and     y = -3:

A(-1) - 3(-3)  =  6

         -A + 9  =  6

                -A  =  -3

                 A  =  3

geno, I believe you plugged in the wrong x value.
