Question
draw a line representing the
ise\ and a line representing the
un\ of the line. state the slope of the line in simplest form.
click twice to plot each segment.
click a segment to delete it.
answer
slope of the line:
Step1: Identify two points on line
Use points $(0, -5)$ and $(-5, 0)$
Step2: Calculate rise (Δy)
$\Delta y = 0 - (-5) = 5$
Step3: Calculate run (Δx)
$\Delta x = -5 - 0 = -5$
Step4: Compute slope (rise/run)
$\text{slope} = \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = \frac{5}{-5}$
Step5: Simplify the fraction
$\frac{5}{-5} = -1$
$-1$
(For the rise/run lines: From $(0, -5)$, draw a vertical line up 5 units to $(0, 0)$ (rise), then a horizontal line left 5 units to $(-5, 0)$ (run); or draw vertical down 5 units and horizontal right 5 units between the points.)
