Answer: The three consecutive odd integers are:  -15, -13, and -11 .
_______________________________________________________
Explanation:
_____________________________________________
  x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = -39 ;
_____________________________________________
 in which "x" is one of the integers, 
           "(x + 2)" is the next consecutive odd integer;
           "(x + 4)"  is the third consecutive odd integer.
__________________________________________
By solving for "x", we can solve for each of three (3) consecutive odd integers.
________________________________________________________
     x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = -39  ;
_________________________________________________________
          1x + 1x + 2 + 1x+ 4 = -39 ;
_____________________________________________________  
                   3x + 6 = -39 ;
______________________________________________
               Subtract  "6" from EACH side of the equation:
______________________________________________
                    3x + 6 − 6  =  -39 <span>− 6 ;
____________________________________________________
        to get:   3x = -45 ;
____________________________________________________
           Divide EACH side of the equation by "3" ;
____________________________________________________
                 3x / 3 = -45 / 3 ;
_____________________________________________________
        to get:   x = -15 ;
______________________________________________________
     x + 2 =  -15 + 2 = -13 ;
_______________________________________________________
     x + 4 =  -15 + 4 =  -11 .
___________________________________________________
Are: -15, -13, and -11 ;  Consecutive odd integers?  YES!
___________________________________________________
Does:  -15 + (-13) + (-11)  =? = -39 ??
_____________________________________________________
           -15 </span>− 13 <span>− 11 = ? 39 ??  YES!
____________________________________________________
Answer: The three consecutive odd integers are:  -15, -13, and -11.

PLS HELP ASAP ILL GIVE BRAINLKEST PLS THANKS
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

y = 3x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's select two points from the given graph.

(1,3) (3,9)

Now, let's use slope formula to find the slope.

m = y2-y1/x2-x1

= 9-3/3-1

= 6/2

= 3

Let's substitute/plug this value into the slope-intercept form.

y = 3x + b

We can see that the y-intercept is 0, from the graph.

b = 0

Therefore,

y = 3x
