Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$slope=\dfrac{rise}{run}\\\\\text{We have}\\\\slope=\dfrac{1}{5},\ run=30\\\\\text{Substitute:}\\\\\dfrac{1}{5}=\dfrac{rise}{30}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\5rise=(1)(30)\\\\5rise=30\qquad\text{divide both sides by 5}\\\\\dfrac{5rise}{5}=\dfrac{30}{5}\\\\rise=6$
