Question

A line has a rise of 6 and a slope of 1/20. What is the run?

30
90
120
What is the answer please help.
Thank you

Answer 1

Rise/Run=(Y-y)/(X-x)

6/Run=1/20=6/120

Say that R=Run

6/R=6/120

720/R=6

6R=720

R=720/6=120

Therefore Run=120.

Answer 2

`\boxed{\boxed{\text{Run}=120}}`

Explanation:

From coordinate geometry we know that, slope is ratio of vertical change rise and the horizontal change run.

Mathematically,

`\text{Slope}=\frac{\text{Rise}}{\text{Run}}`

Putting the given values,

`\Rightarrow (1)/(20)=\frac{6}{\text{Run}}`

`\Rightarrow \text{Run}=6* 20`

`\Rightarrow \text{Run}=120`
