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

What is the equation of the line

kupik [55]

Answer:

y=-x+3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph goes down one and right one before making another point. This means that the slope is -1/1. Simplify and you get -1. So far we have y=-1x. -1x is the same as -1. Now we have y=-x. The graph intersects the y-axis at the point (0,3). This makes our y-intercept 3. Our final equation is y=-x+3.

The number of windows on each floor form an arithmetic sequence; 124 windows on the first floor, 116 windows on the second floor

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Formula is 132 - 8n, and there are 52 windows on 10th floor.

Step-by-step explanation:

difference = 116-124 = -8 ( 8 less windows for every floor you go up)

the first fllor has 124 windows

Formula:

$a_{1} = 124$
