Answer:
y = x + 11

Explanation:
The general form of an equation is:
y = mx+c
where:
m is the slope
c is the y-intercept
1- getting the slope:
We are given that the line is parallel to GH. This means that:
slope of the line = slope of GH
We have G as (-2,2) and H as (2,6)
slope of GH = (y2-y1) / (x2-x2)
slope of GH = (6-2) / (2--2) = 1
slope of line = slope of GH =1 
Therefore, the equation on the line now becomes:
y = x + c
2- getting the y-intercept:
We are given that point (-5,6) passes through the line. This means that this point satisfies the equation of the line. So, we will substitute with this point in the equation and solve for c as follows:
y = x + c
6 = -5 + c
c = 6_5
c = 11

Based on the above, the equation of the line is:
y = x + 11

Hope this helps :)

Rewrite the expression in the form y^n
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

$ y^6 $

Step-by-step explanation:

$ \frac{a^b}{a^c} = a^{b - c} $

Using this rule we have:

$ \frac{y^{-7}}{y^{-13}}  = y^{-7 -(-13)} = y^6$

Need help on graphing problem
aivan3 [116]
J is your answer.

Slope is rise over run + your Y intercept.

Your y- intercept is the point in the graph in which the line passes through, the line passes through -2, so you know -2 is going to be your answer at the end. And slope is rise/run.

From one point to another, you rise 1 time , and run over 3 so you know your answer is

y = 1/3x - 2

hope this helps :)

If you add 15 to 3 times the mystery number you get 78 was the mystery number
andreyandreev [35.5K]
So the equation looks like this : 15*3x=78
subtract 15 from both sides:        -15      -15
then divide by 3 from both sides
to isolate the variable:                  3x=63
                                                      3/3x=63/3
                                                        x=21 (your mystery number is 21)
