Question

Find the slope of the line.

Answer 1

The slope is 1/3

Explanation:

Slope is rise over run. Starting from the point (1,-4), the line moves up one unit (rise=1) and then 3 units to the right (run=3) to get to the point (4,-3). Therefore rise over run, or the slope, is 1/3.

Answer 2

The slope is 1/3 because slope is rise over run so you go up one unit and go right three units.
