When graphing, its how much you rise and run
thats the formula when u have a graph and the question is asking for the slope.
you chose a point, and go down or up however many times it goes to the next point, and you run to the left however many times it gets you to get to that point.
if the line goes downward the slope is therefore negative, and if the line goes upward, the slope is therefore, positive.
m in math is meant to be slope, so m= \frac{rise}{run}

Answer: 1/3

Step-by-step explanation: In algebra, we use the word <em>slope</em> to describe how steep a line is. Slope can be found using the ratio <em>rise/run</em> between any two points that are on that line.

For the line in the image provided, let's use the points A and B to find its slope. To get from point A to point B on this line, we would rise 1 unit and run 3 units. So the slope of this line or its rise over run is 1/3.

The variable that is used to represent slope is <em>m</em>. So for this line we would say that m = 1/3. It's important to understand that no matter what two points you choose along this line, the slope or rise over run can always be simplified to 1/3.
