Question

Draw a line representing the rise over the run of the line. State the slope of the line in simplest form.And also pick two points from the graph below and connect the points.Slope of the line:

Answer 1

Given:

`\text{Let the two points are (}-1,-6)\text{ and (}5,-3)`

Formula method:

`\begin{gathered} \text{Slope(m)}=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\ \text{Slope(m)}=(-3+6)/(5+1) \\ \text{Slope(m)}=(3)/(6) \\ \text{Slope(m)}=(1)/(2) \end{gathered}`

Selected points:

To represent the rise and run:

`\begin{gathered} \text{Slope}=(3)/(6) \\ \text{Slope}=(1)/(2) \end{gathered}`
