I can't be entirely sure what you want to "do" about the slope,
but here is how to FIND it if you have the line on the graph:
-- You pick two points on the graph line.
-- Find the difference in 'y' between the two points.
-- Find the difference in 'x' between the two points.
-- The slope of the line between the two points is
(the difference in 'y')
divided by
(the difference in 'x') .
-- If the line on the graph is a straight line, then
the slope is the same everywhere on it.
Take an example: The salary per hour:
Assume x (variable) is the number of hours worked and assume THAT THE RATE PER HOUR IS $10, then:
If you work x hours at the hourly rate of$10, you will generate an income,
say, y that is equal the number of hours worked by the rate per hour, that is:
y = 10.x. The more hour(x) you work, the more income(y) you get.
Hence we created a relationship between y and x , or in English, between the earning and the number of hours worked.
Moreover y depends on x, if there is no x, there is no y and if x increases, y increases. However x is an INDEPENDENT variable because you can
give to x any number & y will follow
Y= -9x

Answer:
x + 2x + 2x + 2 + 4x + 4 = 42
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume the number of orange buttons be x
So, the grey buttons be 2x
The white buttons would be 2x + 2
And the black buttons be 2(2x + 2) i.e. 4x + 4
Also the total is 42 buttons
So, the equation is
x + 2x + 2x + 2 + 4x + 4 = 42
