Question

What does a slope of 1/4 look like

Answer 1

Slope is also known as rise over run -

`(rise)/(run)`
Here, we have the slope
`(1)/(4)`. This means that the rise is
`1` and the run is
`4`. Since both values are positive, we can say that we go up one and we go right four. When we plot this on a graph (the graph is attached), we get the same exact formula we found. **In the graph, I plotted the line
`y= (1)/(4) x`**. Hope this helped!
