How exactly would I find a slope to a graph?

Most people would do it by subtracting your 2 y points (any points) and dividing the by the two x points. Basically, y2-y1/x2-x1. Hoped I could help you on this one.

Step-by-step explanation:

option 1

data plot with   3 dots over 33, 1 dot over 34, 2 dots over 35, no dot over 36, 1 dot over 37, 2 dots over 38, 4 dots over 39, and 2 dot over 40.

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

x - 3

discussion:

x^2 - 9 = (x-3) (x+3)   so

(x^2-9)/ (x + 3) = x-3
