Answer:
x = 1091.63315843

Setting Up:
7 = ln ( x + 5 )
ln translates to "log" with an "e" as the base or subscript ( a small "e" at the bottom right of the "g" in log).
You take the base of the log and put it to the power of "7" ( "7" is the natural log of ( x + 5 ) in this problem ).
The value of which the logarithm is calculated is set equal to the base of the logarithm to the power of the calculated logarithm of the value.
e^7 = x + 5
Solving</span>:
e = 2.71828182846
Natural logarithms are logarithms to the base of the constant 'e'.
e^7 = x + 5 ( simplify e^7 )

Subtract 5 from each side.
1091.63315843 = x
parallel lines have the same slope
The slope-intercept form of a linear equatio is y=mx+b, where m stands for the "slope of the line" and b stands for the "y-intercept of the line"
They give you the equation y= -5/6x+3 Notice this is already on the slope-intercept form, so in this case the slope is -5/6 and the y-intercept is 3
You want an equation of the line that is parallel to the given line. The slopes must be the same, so m=-5/6
So far we have y=-5/6x + b
We don't have b yet but that can be found using the given point (6,-1) which tells you that "x is 6 when y is -1"
Replace that on the equation y=-5/6x + b and you get
-1 = (-5/6)(6) + b
-1 = -5 +b
4 = b
b = 4
We found b, or the y-intercept
Go back to the equation y = -5/6 x + b and replace this b with the b we just found
y = -5/6x + 4
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the slope formula:
where m = slope
Given the coordinates
(-4, 4) ---> this means x1 = -4 , y1 = 4
(2, -5) ---> this means x2 = 2 , y2 = -5
Substitute these values into the slope formula:
