Question

Draw a line representing the "rise" and a line representing the "run" of the line. State
the slope of the line in simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

Rise/Run=1/4

Slope=1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope by using y-y/x-x

I can find two coordinates in Quadrant 4.

(9,-3) and (5,-4)

-3 + 4 = 1

9 - 5  = 4

The fraction is 1/4. Which is the slope.

Answer 2

Solution:

Rise and run stated in graph below.

To find the slope of the line, we need to use the formula "Rise/Run".

Looking at the graph, we can tell that

• The rise is 3 units
• The run is 12 units

When rise/run used:

• Rise/Run = 3/12 = 1/4

Thus, the slope is 1/4.
