Question

If Katie is working on sketching a building on graph paper and she wants to create a ramp for the building that starts at (0, 2) and has a slope of 1, what other point could she use to draw her line for the ramp? How do you know? (Hint: Draw a picture )

Answer 1

(1,3)

Explanation:

A line with a slope of 1 will have a rise of 1 for each run of 1. (This is the definition of slope.) That is, another point on the line will be 1 unit higher for each unit to the right of the given point.

One possibility is (0, 2) +(1, 1) = (1, 3).
