Question

draw a line representing the
ise\ and a line representing the
un\ 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: Recall slope formula

The slope $m$ of a line is given by $m=\frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}}$.

Step2: Identify two points on the line

Let's assume two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ on the line. Suppose the line passes through $(0, - 4)$ and $(4,0)$.

Step3: Calculate rise and run

The rise is the change in $y$ - values: $y_2 - y_1=0-( - 4)=4$. The run is the change in $x$ - values: $x_2 - x_1=4 - 0=4$.

Step4: Calculate slope

$m=\frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}}=\frac{4}{4}=1$.

Answer:

The slope of the line is 1.
