How to find slope using a graph.

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find two points on the graph that are easy to read.

Start at one point. You must now go to the other point, but you can only move vertically (up and down) and horizontally (right and left.)

Move vertically toward the other point. Count the number of units you moved. Up is positive, and down is negative. This is the rise.

Now move horizontally to the second point and count the units. Right is positive and left is negative. This is the run.

slope = rise/run

10% of increase is the final answer! : )

5x + 3y = - 4

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

ax + by = c ( a is a positive integer and b, c are integers )

express the line first of all in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 8)

m = = -

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (4, - 8 ), then

- 8 = - + c ⇒ c = -

y = - x - ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 3 to eliminate the fractions

3y = - 5x - 4 ( add 5x to both sides )

5x + 3y = - 4 ← in standard form
