Question

30 points! Draw a line representing the "rise" and a line representing the "run" of the line. State the slope of the line in simplest form.

Slope of the line: ___

Answer 1

m = 5/4

Explanation:

Slope = rise/run or (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Pick 2 points (0, -3) (4,2)

We see the y increase by 5 and the x increase by 4, so the slope is

m = 5/4
