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. answer attempt 1 out of 2 slope of the line: submit answer

Explanation:

Step1: Identify two points on the line

Let's take two points, say (-2,0) and (2,1).

Step2: Calculate the rise and run

The rise is the change in y - values. So, $y_2 - y_1=1 - 0 = 1$. The run is the change in x - values. So, $x_2 - x_1=2-(-2)=4$.

Step3: Calculate the slope

The slope $m$ of a line is given by the formula $m=\frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}}$. So, $m = \frac{1}{4}$.

Answer:

$\frac{1}{4}$
