A star is a swirling mass of dense gases powered by thermonuclear reactions. The great solar furnace transforms 7 million tons o
f mass into energy every second. How many tons of mass will be transformed into energy during the star's 10-billion-year lifetime. Hint: Find the number of seconds in 10 billion years.
Slope is rise/run or y2-y1/x2-x1. So to find the slope, find two points where the point is exact, then do the equation. That's the best I can explain, sorry if this doesn't help at all.
