slope = -1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
For the rise of -1 and the run of 2, the slope is ...
m = rise/run = -1/2 . . . . slope in simplest form

It usually works best if you can identify points on the graph where the line crosses grid intersections. Then the number of squares in each direction can be counted easily. If you work with two grid intersections that are closest together, then the ratio of rise to run will already be in reduced form.
On this graph, there are other grid crossing points that are 4, 6, 8 units to the right or left of the one where we started. You need to remember that "run" is positive in the "right" direction, and "rise" is positive in the "up" direction.
We have shown the "rise" and "run" lines above the graphed line. They can also be shown below the graphed line.
Here, the grid squares are 1 unit in each direction. You need to pay attention to the scale, because some graphs have different numbering vertically than horizontally. The values for "rise" and "run" need to be figured using the appropriate scale.
These are two separate problems: in the first we will have to substitute in a new value for x into the original equation and in the second we will manipulate the preexisting equation for f(x).
To begin, we will sub in f(x/3). To do this, we will substitute each variable x in the equation (in this case there is only one) with x/3, and then simplify the resulting equation.
f(x) = 6x - 18
f(x/3) = 6(x/3) - 18
To simplify, we should distribute the 6 on the right side of the equation.
f(x/3) = 6x/3 - 18
Now, we can divide the first term on the right side to finalize our simplification.
f(x/3) = 2x -18
Secondly, we are asked to find f(x)/3. To do this, we will take our original value for f(x), and then simplify divide that entire function by 3.
f(x) = 6x - 18
f(x)/3 = (6x-18)/3
This means that we must divide each term of the binomial by 3, so we are really computing
f(x)/3 = 6x/3 - 18/3
We can simplify by dividing both of the terms.
f(x)/3 = 2x - 6
Therefore, your answer is that f(x/3) = 2x - 18, but f(x)/3 = 2x - 6. It is important to recognize that these are two similar, yet different, answers.
Hope this helps!

Largest doll = 12 inches
2nd doll = (12) x 0.7
3rd doll = (12 x 0.7) x 0.7
4th doll = [(12 x 0.7) x 0.7) x 0.7
So, the height of the nth doll can be expressed as: 12 x 0.7^(n-1)
Example: 4th doll = 12 x 0.7^(4-1) = 12 x 0.7^3
