\huge\fbox{Hello\:there!}

Remember, one of the ways we can find the slope is


\rm\displaystyle(Rise)/(Run)

Where


\rm{\underline{Rise}} is the amount of units we move up or down (vertically)


\rm{Run is the amount of units we move left or right (horizontally)

So, given the slope


\displaystyle-(1)/(3)

how many units do we move vertically?

Let's look at the slope.

As we can see, the Rise is -1. (Answer)

Thus, we move

-1 units vertically. (1 unit down)

Hope it helps you.

Answer:

You move vertically by -1 units

Explanation:

The slope is rise over run.

This slope means you go down 1 unit as you go to the right 3 units

This is a graph with a negative slope, so it comes from the top left to the bottom right.
