Question

A slope triangle for line l is shown on the graph below. If the

slope of the line is 4/3 what is the value of w?

Answer 1

Answer: 9

Explanation:

Answer 2

9

Explanation:

What we have to note is that the slope of a line is rise/run. This means that the amount of y change in that line is 4, and the amount of x change is 3.

We can now use a proportion to find the value of w.

`(4)/(3) = (12)/(x)`

Cross multiply:

`12\cdot36 = 36\\\\36/4=9`

Hope this helped!
