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

Slope =
`(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

Let's take two points on the line graphed for a function.

Slope of this linear function =
`\frac{\text{Rise}}{\text{Run}}`

Between two points chosen,

Rise = Vertical distance on y-axis (Increase or decrease) from one point to the second

Run = Horizontal distance on x-axis from one point to second

Let the points on the graph are (-8, 0) and (0, 4).

Rise = 4

Run = 8

Therefore, slope of the line =
`\frac{\text{Rise}}{\text{Run}}` =
`(4)/(8)`

Slope =
`(1)/(2)`
