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

The slope of the line m = 1

The equation of the straight line x -y -7=0

Explanation:

Explanation:-

In the given graph

The points are ( 7,0) and ( 0, -7)

The slope of the line

`m = (y_(2)- y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) ) = (-7-0)/(0-7) = (-7)/(-7) = 1`

The equation of the straight line passing through the point (7,0) and slope m=1

y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)

y - 0 = 1( x-7)

y = x -7

x - y -7=0

Final answer:-

The slope of the line m = 1

The equation of the straight line x -y -7=0
