Question

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.
click twice to plot each segment.
click a segment to delete it.
answer attempt 1 out of 2
slope of the line:

Explanation:

Step1: Identify two points on the line

From the graph, we can see that the line passes through \((0, -3)\) and \((3, -6)\) (we can also use other points, but these are clear).

Step2: Calculate the rise and run

Rise is the change in \(y\)-coordinates: \(y_2 - y_1=-6 - (-3)=-3\)
Run is the change in \(x\)-coordinates: \(x_2 - x_1 = 3 - 0=3\)

Step3: Calculate the slope

Slope \(m=\frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}}=\frac{-3}{3}=-1\)

Answer:

\(-1\)
