There are several ways to do this.
I'll show you two methods.
1) Pick two points on the line and use the slope formula.
Look for two points that are easy to read. It is best if the points are on grid line intersections. For example, you can see points (-4, -1) and (0, -2) are easy to read.
Now we use the slope formula.
slope = m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
Call one point (x1, y1), and call the other point (x2, y2).
Plug in the x1, x2, y1, y2 values in the formula and simplify the fraction.
Let's call point (-4, -1) point (x1, y1).
Then x1 = -4, and y1 = -1.
Let's call point (0, -2) point (x2, y2).
Then x2 = 0, and y2 = -2.
Plug in values into the formula:
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (-2 - (-1))/(0 - (-4)) = (-2 + 1)/(0 + 4) = -1/4
The slope is -1/4
2) Pick two points on the graph and use rise over run.
The slope is equal to the rise divided by the run.
Run is how much you go up or down.
Rise is how much you go right or left.
Pick two easy to read points.
We can use the same points we used above, (-4, -1) and (-0, -2).
Start at point (0, -2).
How far up or down do you need to go to get to point (-4, -1)?
Answer: 1 unit up, or +1.
The rise is +1.
Now that we went up 1, how far do you go left or right top go to point (-4, -1)?
Answer: 4 units to the left. Going left is negative, so the run is -4.
Slope = rise/run = +1/-4 = -1/4
As you can see we got the same slope using both methods.
First, let x or any variable represent the number of paintings Kate initially has. After selling 12 of it, her paintings now becomes only x - 12. Then, she purchased 7 more making the number of her paintings become x - 12 + 7 = x - 5. This number tantamount to 21.
x - 5 = 21 ; x = 26
Thus, Kate initially had 26 paintings.
3x + 4y = - 8
The equation of a line in standard form is Ax + By = C
where A is a positive integer and B, C are integers
Express the line in ' slope- intercept form '
y = mx + c → (m is the slope and c is the y-intercept)
here m = - 
and c = - 2
hence y = - x - 2 → equation in slope- intercept form
multiply all terms by 4
4y = - 3x - 8
add 3x to both sides
3x + 4y = - 8 → in standard form
Answer:
322.63%
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of square pyramid = 1/3a²h
a = base side length ; h = height
Volume of pyramid A :
a = 18 ; h = 9
V = 1/3*18²*9
V = 18² * 3
V = 972 in³
Volume of pyramid B = 3136 in³
Volume of pyramid B / Volume of pyramid A
(3136 / 972) * 100% = 322.63%
