Answer:

g=15

Explanation:

we first can substitute in (-5,-9) into the x and y variables in y=mx+b as well as the slope:

so we get:

-9=3/2(-5)+b

now lets solve for b:

3/2 x -5 = -15/2

-9=-15/2+b

now add the -15/2 on both sides of the eqaution:

b=-33/2

now lets substitute it back in:

y=3/2x-33/2

NOW lol substitute the 6 in to find g:

6=3/2g-33/2

solve from here to get

45/2=3/2g

multiply by 2 on each side

45=3g

divide both sides by 3:

g=15!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope this helped sry it took long lol

Answer:

g=5

Explanation:

(-9)-(6) / (-5)-(g) = 3/2

3 x -(g+5) = 2 x -15

g+5=10

g=5
