Answer:
for every inch the line goes to the right, it drops by 1/3 of an inch
Step-by-step explanation:
Using two of the points on the line, you can find the slope of the line by finding the rise and the run
The slope of a line represents the rate of change of the line.
When a line has a slope, then such line is represented by a linear equation.
A linear equation is represented as:
[tex]\mathbf{y = mx + b}[/tex]
Where m represents slope, and b represents the y-intercept.
This means that, the following line equations have a slope of 2
[tex]\mathbf{y = 2x}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{y = 2x + 1}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{y = 2x - 1}[/tex]
And the following line equations have a slope of 1/3
[tex]\mathbf{y = \frac 13x}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{y = \frac 13x + 1}[/tex]
For the line equations with a slope of 2.
As the line runs (horizontally) by 1 point, it rises by 2 points (vertically)
For the line equations with a slope of 1/3
As the line runs (horizontally) by 1 point, it rises by 1/3 points (vertically)
