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 points on line

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

Step2: Calculate run (x-change)

Run = $2 - 0 = 2$

Step3: Calculate rise (y-change)

Rise = $0 - (-5) = 5$

Step4: Compute slope as rise/run

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

Answer:

The slope of the line is $\frac{5}{2}$
(For the rise/run lines: From point $(0,-5)$, draw a vertical line up 5 units to $(0,0)$ (rise), then a horizontal line right 2 units to $(2,0)$ (run); or from $(2,0)$ draw vertical down 5 units to $(2,-5)$ and horizontal left 2 units to $(0,-5)$)
