Find a slope of each line (each block is one unit):

Answer: <em>m = 3/2</em>
Step-by-step explanation: In algebra, we use the word <em>slope</em> to describe how steep a line is and slope can be found using the ratio rise/run between any two points that are on that line.
So for the line you see here, let's use the points A and B to find its slope. I have labeled these points in the attachment that's is provided.
To get from point A to point B, we would rise 6 units and run 4 units. So the slope of this line or its rise/run is 6/4.
As a last step to these problems, make sure you have reduced your slope as much as possible and notice that 6/4 can be reduced to 3/2.
The variable that's used to represent slope is <em>m</em>.
So for this line we would say that <em>m = 3/2</em>.
