Calculate the slope represented by the table. Please help me and explain it

In the diagram, a building cast a 35-ft shadow and a flagpole casts an 8-ft shadow. if the the flagpole is 18 ft tall, how tall is the building? round the the nearest tenth.

Can you explain how a table can be used to find a rate of change?

1.)solve for z. -52=-4z 2.)solve for p 9/2.3=9.2 3.)solve for y. -1.17y=5.85 4.)solve for x. 3x/8=6
