So for the first part, use the equation (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(6+1)/(2+4) it becomes adding as you are subtracting a negative. So then you get
7/6 as your slope.
Since it is a positive slope, the line is rising. That is the second answer.
Sketch the line by plotting the two given points. The slope should be rise 7 over run 6
