Question

what is the slope of the line in the coordinate plane?
hint: slope is represented by the variable m.
$m = \frac{rise}{run}$
(a) $m = \frac{1}{4}$
(b) $m = -\frac{1}{4}$
(c) $m = \frac{4}{1}$
(d) $m = -\frac{4}{1}$

Explanation:

Step1: Identify rise and run

Pick two points on the line. From the lower - left point to the upper - right point, the vertical change (rise) is 4 units up and the horizontal change (run) is 1 unit to the right.

Step2: Calculate slope

Using the formula $m=\frac{rise}{run}$, with rise = 4 and run = 1, we get $m=\frac{4}{1}$.

Answer:

C. $m = \frac{4}{1}$
