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: Identify two line points

Use points $(0, 6)$ and $(-8, 0)$

Step2: Calculate vertical rise

Subtract y-values: $6 - 0 = 6$

Step3: Calculate horizontal run

Subtract x-values: $0 - (-8) = 8$

Step4: Compute slope (rise/run)

$\text{slope} = \frac{6}{8} = \frac{3}{4}$

Answer:

The slope of the line is $\frac{3}{4}$.
(For the rise/run lines: From point $(-8, 0)$, draw a vertical line up 6 units to $(-8, 6)$ (this is the rise), then draw a horizontal line right 8 units to $(0, 6)$ (this is the run); or use any other pair of points on the line with the same ratio of rise to run.)
