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: Choose two points on the line

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

Step2: Calculate the rise

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

Step3: Calculate the run

The run is the change in 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 $\frac{4}{5}$. Regarding drawing the "rise" and "run" lines, to draw the "rise" line, start from the point (-5, 0) and draw a vertical line segment 4 units up. To draw the "run" line, from the end - point of the rise line (i.e., (-5, 4)), draw a horizontal line segment 5 units to the right until you reach the point (0, 4).
