The slope is -3.
Finding slope can be easy if you just remember that the formula is set up as y=mx+b.
The number in the 'm' place is always the slope.
Example: y=4x+1, the slope would be 4 because it's in the 'm' place.
If you have trouble remembering which place the slope is, trying thinking about skiing or sledding; you can only sled or ski down a Mountain slope. Mountain starts with M.
M=slope.
Hope this helps :)

Answer:
y = 1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
direct variation
y =kx
substitute in what we know to find k
1/2 = k*3
solve for k
divide by 3
1/2 /3 = k
1/6 = k
substitute k into the direct variation equation
y = 1/6 x
let x = 1
y = 1/6 *1
y = 1/6
(-7,-8) is the center and 8 is the radius.
The average rate of change formula is
f(b) - f(a)
arc = ----------------
b-a
Here, a= -10 and b = 10
(10)^2 + 9(10) + 18 - [ (-10)^2 + 9(-10) + 18]
Here arc = --------------------------------------------------------------
10 - (-10)
10^2 and -(-10)^2 cancel. 18 - 18 cancel.
90 - (-90) 180
This leaves us with arc = ----------------- = ------------- = 9 (answer)
20 20
