Question

A line has a rise of 3 and a run of 12. What is the slope?

1/3
1/4
4

Answer 1

slope = rise/run
slope = 3/12
slope = 1/4
answer is
1/4

Answer 2

Slope =
`(1)/(4)`.

Explanation:

Given : A line has a rise of 3 and a run of 12.

To find : What is the slope.

Solution : We have given that A line has a rise of 3 and a run of 12

Slope =
`(Rise)/(Run)`.

Slope =
`(3)/(12)`.

Slope =
`(1)/(4)`.

Therefore, Slope =
`(1)/(4)`.
