Question

A line has a rise of 6 and a slop of 1/20
What is the run?

Answer 1

Answer:Answer:

The 'run' is

120

Explanation:

The simple way of explaining slope is to say

rise

run

The slope in this case is the simplified answer, so to find what it was, write equivalent fractions.

The 'run' is

Answer 2

120

Explanation:

Slope = Rise/Run

The Rise is given to us, and it is 6. The fraction in which we need to use as our basis is also given to us, at 1/20

Multiply 6 to both the top and bottom of the fraction:

Slope = Rise/Run = 1/20

(1/20)(6/6) = 6/120

When the rise is 6, the run is 120.
