Question

A line has a slope of ( 1/2 ) and a run = 50. Find the rise of the line. Type a numerical answer in the space provided. If necessary, use the / key to represent a tion bar.

a) (25)

b) (50)

c) (75)

d) (100)

Answer 1

The rise of a line with a slope of 1/2 and a run of 50 is calculated by multiplying the slope with the run, which results in a rise of 25.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the rise of a line with a given slope and run, we use the formula of slope which is defined as the rise over the run. The slope (m) is given as 1/2, and the run is 50. Therefore:

Slope (m) = Rise / Run

1/2 = Rise / 50

Now we solve for the rise:

Rise = 1/2 * 50

Rise = 25

So the rise of the line is 25, which means that option a) (25) is the correct answer.
