Answer:
rise = 7, run = 8
slope = rise/run = 7/8
See attached picture for graph in case you have to plot
Explanation:
Take two distinguishable points, (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) on the graph. Find the difference in their y values= y2 - y1. This will be the rise
Find the corresponding difference in the x values, x2 - x1. This will be the run
Divide the y difference by the x difference and you get rise/run which is the slope of the line
Two clear points are (x1 = 0, y1= -7) and (x2=8, y2=0)
(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
= (0 - (-7)/(8 - 0))
= (0+7/(8 - 0) ==> 2 negatives make a positive
= 7/8 and that is rise/run
Rise = 7, run = 8
