$g = 7$ $g = 7$

Explanation:

The formula for slope of a line with points $(x_{1}, y_{1})$ $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_{2}, y_{2})$ $(x_2, y_2)$ is $m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ $m = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)$ .

$\frac{1}{6} = \frac{0 - 2}{- 5 - g}$ $1/6 = (0 - 2)/(-5 - g)$

$1 (- 5 - g) = 6 (- 2)$ $1(-5 - g) = 6(-2)$

$- 5 - g = - 12$ $-5 - g = -12$

$- g = - 7$ $-g = -7$

$g = 7$ $g = 7$

Hopefully this helps!
