Final answer:

The equation of line h, parallel to line g with a slope of -1/3 and including the point (-10, 6), is y = -1/3x + 8/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Line g has an equation of y = -1/3x - 8.

Since line h is parallel to line g, it will have the same slope. The slope of line g is -1/3.

We also know that line h includes the point (-10, 6).

To find the equation of line h, we can use the point-slope form of the equation:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Substituting the values we have:

y - 6 = -1/3(x - (-10))

y - 6 = -1/3(x + 10)

y - 6 = -1/3x - 10/3

y = -1/3x - 10/3 + 6

y = -1/3x + 8/3

Therefore, the equation of line h is y = -1/3x + 8/3.
