Question

A line in the coordinate plane passes through the points (-1, 0) and (4, 2). Which statement about the line is true?O The line rises 2 unit for every 3 units to the right.O The line rises 2 units for every 5 units to the right.O The line rises 2 units for every 3 units to the left.Mark to Review LatO The line rises 5 units for every 2 units to the left.

Answer 1

GIven two points, we can find the 'rise' by taking the difference between the y-coordinates of the points. Similarly, we can find the 'run' by taking the difference between the x-coordinates.

In this case, we were given the points (-1, 0) and (4, 2)

First, let's calculate the run:

`4-(-1)=4+1=5`

Then the rise:

`2-0=2`

Thus, this line rises 2 units every 5 units to the right. Which is option 2.
