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.

Explanation:

Step1: Select two points on the line

Let's take the points (-5, 0) and (0, 4).

Step2: Calculate the rise

The rise is the change in the y - values. $4 - 0=4$.

Step3: Calculate the run

The run is the change in the x - values. $0-(-5)=5$.

Step4: Calculate the slope

The slope $m=\frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}}=\frac{4}{5}$.

Answer:

The slope of the line is $\frac{4}{5}$.
