To find the slope, you find the change in y-values over the change in x-values. 

Your first point is: (5,-3)
Your second point is (8, -5)
Your x-values are: 5 and 8
Your y-values are -3 and -5
The equation to find slope is: slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
       - The 2s and 1s indicate which point the values belong to, it makes sure               that you align the right x-value with its correct y-value. It doesn't matter               which point you assign as 1 or 2, as long as the values match
             - So, x-value 5 will match with y-value -3, and x-value 8 will match with                  y-value -5

Now you plug in out values :
slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
slope = (-5-(-3))/(8-5)
slope = (-2)/(3)
slope = -2/3

Label your coordinates first. (5,-3) 5 is x1 and -3 is y1. (8,-5) 8 is x2 and -5 is y2.
Take y2-y1 divided by x2-x1
-5- -3/ 8-5
-5- -3 is -2 and 8-5 is 3
So your slope would be -2/3

-8 ( 3-s) = 32 what is s
____ [38]
-8(3 - s) = 32
So you expand the brackets
-24 + 8s = 32
And then solve
+ 24
8s = 56
÷ 8
s = 7
Hope this helps!

Please help ASAP URGENT
Shtirlitz [24]

Think of variable K as number of trees planted and variable J as number of minutes it takes to plant the trees.

K = _J + _

For every 4 trees planted it takes 2 minutes to plant them, so we now have -4/2. 4 is negative because we don't have an unlimited amount of trees to plant. With this being said, we can use this fraction as J.

K = -4/2J + _

We lose 4 trees every 2 minutes, but how many trees did we initially start out with? According to the graph, we started with 28 trees, so K = -4/2J + 28.

Now we can test this equation out by picking a random dot on the graph: 24/2.

24 = -4/2(2) + 28

24 = -4 + 28

24 = 24

This statement is correct, so our equation is correct.
