Question

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

Answer 1

Explanation:

First choose two points on the line,

Let the points are A and B.

From point A to B we are moving downwards by (5 - 1 = 4 units)

Therefore, Rise = -4

Horizontal distance between A and B = 2 units

Therefore, Run = 2

Since, slope of a line =
`\frac{\text{Rise}}{\text{Run}}`

Slope =
`(-4)/(2)`

= -2
