To find the equation you would first need to find the slope. if you use the formula
y2 - y1/x2 - x1 = 5-6/2+4 (plus four because minus a negative turns into positive). your slope (m) would be -1/6. Since you have a point and a slope you can you point slope form ( y-y1=m(x-x1) ) to find the equation. Using the first coordinate (-4,6) and the slope (-1/6) your point slope form would be y-6=-1/6(x+4). Now you simplify your equation down. Multiply the -1/6 into the parentheses, y-6=-1/6x - 2/3. After that just add the 6 to the -2/3 to get y by itself, y= -1/6x + 16/3.
Therefore y=-1/6x + 16/3 would be your equation

The correct answer is B. 7.5
Similar polygons are polygons wherein its corresponding sides are proportional. All corresponding sides of the larger polygon are proportional to the corresponding sides to the smaller polygon, wherein segment HG is proportional to segment DC, and segment FG is proportional to segment BC. (See attachment for reference) A <span>proportion is an equation that states two ratios are equivalent. By cross multiplying the two ratios, you get an equation for finding the value of z, which is 7.5</span>
