Whenever you see the word "per" you can ALWAYS substitue in the word "divide". When you see "miles per gallon", change "per" into "divided by" to get miles divided by gallons. That is how you will solve the problem.
SO.....
300 miles ÷ 10 gallons = 30 miles per gallon
An equation of a line parallel to y=x-6, must have the same slope.
In this equation:
y=mx+b (slope-intercept form)
m is the slope:
The slope of the equation y=x-6 is m=1 (the number beside "x").
Now we have a point (-1,5) and the slope m=1.
Point-slope form of a line:
y-y₀=m(x-x₀)
so:
y-5=1(x+1)
answer: the equation of the line in point-slope form is :
y-5=1(x+1)
And the eqution of this line in slope-intercept form is:
y=x+6
y-5=(x+1)
y=x+1+5
y=x+6
