Question

How do I interpret the slope in terms rise over run

Answer 1

Given:

Slope of the line = 1

Let's interpret the slope in terms of rise and run.

Apply the slope formula:

`slope=(rise)/(run)`

The slope of a line can be said to be the rise divided by the run.

Here, since the slope of the line is 1, we have:

`slope=(rise)/(run)=\frac{change\text{ in y}}{change\text{ in x}}=(1)/(1)`

This means that the graph rises 1 unit for each 1 unit of run.

ANSWER:

The graph rises 1 unit for each 1 unit of run.
