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: Identify two line points

Choose points $(0, 5)$ and $(2, 0)$ on the line.

Step2: Calculate vertical rise

Subtract y-values: $0 - 5 = -5$

Step3: Calculate horizontal run

Subtract x-values: $2 - 0 = 2$

Step4: Compute slope (rise/run)

Slope = $\frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} = \frac{-5}{2}$

Answer:

The slope of the line is $\boldsymbol{-\frac{5}{2}}$.
(For the rise/run segments: Draw a vertical segment from $(0, 5)$ down to $(0, 0)$ (rise = -5), and a horizontal segment from $(0, 0)$ to $(2, 0)$ (run = 2); or use the two points directly: vertical segment between $(0,5)$ and $(2,5)$, horizontal segment between $(2,5)$ and $(2,0)$.)
