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

Choose points $(2,1)$ and $(0,-4)$ on the line.

Step2: Calculate vertical rise

Subtract y-values: $1 - (-4) = 5$

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 $\frac{5}{2}$.
For the rise/run segments:

• Draw a vertical line from $(0,-4)$ to $(0,1)$ (this is the rise of 5).
• Draw a horizontal line from $(0,1)$ to $(2,1)$ (this is the run of 2).
