To do this, divide 100 by 40 and get the answer. So, 100 divided by 40 = 2.5. The scale factor is 2.5

If you divide 25 by 12, then you will get 2.083 (3 repeating). If we round that, it will turn to about 3 inches.

What is the slope of the line ?

CaHeK987 [17]

The slope of the line is - 3/4

I got my ordered pairs by finding two points on the lines, an noting down their X and Y values.
Then I used the equation Y2 - Y1 (all over) X2 - X1 by plugging in the ordered pairs.
Finally, I solved and got -3/4!
See the attached picture below

Additionally, you can use rise over run, and count the rise and the run. In the image, the rise is three, and the run is four. The slope is negative, which leaves me to know that the answer is -3/4.

Hope this helps :)
