Question

Directions: calculate the rise,run, and slope on the line below

Answer 1

Answer: Rise = 3 Run=1  slope=3/1 or just 3

Step-by-step explanation:

start at the left most point and count up to the line that contains the 2nd point

so rise 3

then count over to that 2nd point

so run is 1

slope is rise/run so 3/1

Answer 2

Rise = y₂-y₁ = 1 - (-2) = 1+2 = 3

run = x₂-x₁ = 1-0 = 1

slope = rise / run

slope = 3/1

slope = 3
