The travels you have described are:
(Middle floor) + 8 + 5 - 9 + 7 - 32
= (middle floor) + 20 - 41
= (middle floor) - 21 brought her to floor #1.
So Middle floor - 21 = 1
Add 21 to each side: Middle floor = 22
The building has (2 x middle floor) = 44 floors.
Answer:
y = 1/40x + 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope-intercept equation format:
y = mx + b
m = slope/ gradient/ constant of variation/ rate of change
b = y-intercept
To find the slope, use the formula:

Find two random points:
1 - (0.5, 40) , 2 - (1, 60)
Plug in:

Solve:

Divide:

The y-intercept is when the x-coordinate is equal to 0.
The y-intercept is always the beginning.
So observing the graph, the first point is (0, 20)
The x-coordinate is 0.
Y intercept = 20.
Plug in both slope and y-intercept:
y = 1/40x + 20
The answer is 9. because... (8+9) + 32= 49
