Question

What does a slope of 1/4 look like

Answer 1

Slope is also known as rise over run - 
$\frac{rise}{run}$
Here, we have the slope $\frac{1}{4}$. This means that the rise is $1$ and the run is $4$. Since both values are positive, we can say that we go up one and we go right four. When we plot this on a graph (the graph is attached), we get the same exact formula we found. **In the graph, I plotted the line $y= \frac{1}{4} x$**. Hope this helped!
