What is a slope on a graph

The slope on a graph is "rise over run" (rise/run)
The equation for slope is mx + b = y. (the mx is the slope)
To find the slope, you will see two points on your graph. From one point, count either upwards or downwards from the y axis till you reach to where the other point is. (this is the rise)
After finding the rise, you will then count either left or right across the x axis till you count to the other point.
For example, if you had one point at (-3,4) and another at (6,2)
The rise would be 6, and the run would be 6 as well.
hope this helps

A line that never changes, so you can choose whatever two points you want and you will always get the same slope.

Answer:

$x \approx 55.8$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem, one must use the trigonometric ratios. These ratios are the following,

$sin(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}\\\\cos(\theta)= \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}\\\\tan(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$

Remember, each side is named relative to the angle, thus sides will attain different names depending on the angle which one sues to calculate with.

In this case, one is given the measure of the angle, and the measure of the side opposite to the angle. One is asked to find the measure of the side adjacent to the angle. Use the trigonometric ratio ( $tan$ ) to solve for the unknown. Substitute in the given values,
